NEXT STOP EVERYWHERE 177: "The Next Doctor" Is Up!

"Tell me one thing.  All those facts and figures I saw of the Doctor's life, you were never alone.  All those bright and shining companions.  But not anymore?"
"No."
"Might I ask why not?"
"They leave.  Because they should or because they find someone else.  And some of them, some of them...forget me.  [Pauses]  I suppose in the end, they break my heart."
-- Jackson Lake & The Tenth Doctor, Doctor Who: "The Next Doctor"
