Doctor Marries Doctor's Daughter, TARDIS Explodes

techmuse writes "In a veritable Who's Who of Doctor Who, 10th Doctor David Tennant is marrying Georgia Moffett, the daughter of 5th Doctor Peter Davison, who played the Doctor's daughter in an episode of Doctor Who. Except that the Doctor's daughter was a clone of the Doctor, which meant that she really was Who. So a newer Doctor is marrying an older Doctor's daughter, who is a clone of the newer doctor, but only has half the DNA of the older Doctor."

      Well, if we're going to get HHGTTG involved, then might as well mention that Douglas Adams introduced Lalla Ward (Romana II - my personal favorite Doctor Who companion of all time) to her husband Richard Dawkins (!!) ... I don't normally pay attention to the gossip of off-screen lives of actors, but there is something about that combination of fiercely intelligent names that just geeks me out.
