“Bloody Hell!” Donna peered out of the TARDIS door at the pouring rain. “Where d’you keep your umbrella?”

“I haven’t got one.” The Doctor stuck his head out the door. “It’s just rain. A bit of rain never hurt anyone.”

“If you think I’m goin’ out in that without a brolly, you’ve got another think comin’, spaceman! A girl could drown in that, not to mention what it’ll do to my hair. Drowned rat’s not a good look on anyone. Good thing I brought mine with me,” she added cheerfully. “Never know what the weather will be like in space.”

Wow! You'r mum's had quite a life, not an easy one!

Out TV was black and white until I was 18, when my parents divorced, because dad refused to pay for a colour licence. As soon as dad left, mum got a colour TV and rented a video recorder. They were too expensive to buy back then. There were three TV stations as I was growing up, but dad didn't approve of commercial TV so we were only allowed to watch BBC1 and BBC2, lol!

I have MP3 players, but I still have my walkmans too.

We don't have gas so we've always had electric kettles, but the jug kettles are so different from the whistling metal ones we had years ago.

My mum had to look after her younger siblings when she was growing up. She has an older sister but she lived with the grandparents at that time so her upbringing was different.

I've never heard of a colour licence for a TV. We had five prime time channels. Which are now no longer free to air but part of the cable channels.

We use to have a gas stove and had to be careful when lighting the grill because the flames would shoot out.

TV licences are a British thing, the licence fee funds the BBC, which doesn't have advertisements so has to get money another way. Over here, everyone has to buy a TV licence, black and white used to be quite cheap but a colour licence cost more and dad hated spending money, lol!

I'd be too scared to use anything powered by gas O.O

My mum was the youngest of 6 surviving children. Now only her oldest brother is left.
