Doctor Who Series 10: 'Knock Knock' character is classic companion's grandson | Articles | Doctor Who
...Except the reference has been cut
"
Knock Knock sees companion Bill and her university friends go in search of a new house to share...One of her new flatmates is Harry, who chats about his grandad ‘greypacking’ (that’s backpacking for older people, apparently)...the writer reveals, Harry’s other grandad is UNIT surgeon, Harry Sullivan...But, Whovians will be disappointed to learn, that this delightful nugget of continuity has been removed from the final transmitted episode...'It was decided that, in 2017, people might not remember one companion from 40-odd years ago, so it got cut.'"
What an insult, both to fans and the memory of Ian Marter/Harry Sullivan. 'Doctor Who' fans can remember a single line of dialogue from an episode that was transmitted only once in 1964, and it is now being suggested that we will have forgotten a popular companion from (arguably) the programmes greatest era!
