[edit] Alive or dead?

In The End of the World the Doctor stated that his homeworld had been destroyed and that he was the last of the Time Lords. Whether the Rani was present on Gallifrey and was killed along with the rest is uncertain.

Technically the Rani is a Time Lady, as it says earlier in the article, so both she and the Doctor could both be alive within the confines of that statement. sheridan 14:11, 2005 May 13 (UTC)

Isn't that stretching it a bit? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.32.48.236 (talk • contribs) 19:54, January 3, 2007 (UTC)
No, that's stretching it a lot ;) 87.194.60.87 19:15, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Podcast

I've listened carefully to the Last of the Time Lords podcast and did not hear any mention of the Rani. If I am wrong please let me know exactly where it is mentioned so I can check it out? — AnemoneProjectors (zomg!) 19:55, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Try 49:50 onwards - Phil Collinson (producer) says that the hand was that of Tracy Simson, the Production Manager, and then Russell T Davies laughs very loudly before saying "Hand of the Rani" (said in a not-at-all-serious manner?); PC says "Hand of the Rani" again as RTD continues over him. Too throwaway a comment to be authoritative, I would have said. Bencherlite 20:06, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
Oh so they do. Yeah it wasn't said very seriously at all, also RTD said it wouldn't be picked up on in the next series and gave the impression he wouldn't be picking up on it at all himself. — AnemoneProjectors (zomg!) 20:18, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
The entire podcast isn't in a serious tone. Just because they aren't picking up on it in the next season doesn't mean that that it's irrelevant. The laughing is over the fact it's the hand of their producer. Saying he doesn't doesn't let on to whose hand it is is not at all accurate and is entirely misleading.

[edit] Article needs to be re-titled?

It seems to me that people keep referring to Rani as "the Rani" We need to decide if this use of the particle "the" is a part of her name (and therefore the article), or if all superfluous "the"s should be edited out of the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Claytonian (talk • contribs) 11:44, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Rani isn't her name, it's a title, so she is the Rani, not Rani (like the Doctor and the Master). However, per Wikipedia naming conventions, the title of the article is simply "Rani", like Doctor and Master --Brian Olsen (talk) 03:41, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Editing Lock and Miss Foster

I suggest that this article be locked from editing. It changes every couple minutes with speculation about The Rani and Miss Foster being the same person. Something has to be done.

A mention of Miss Foster wouldn't be so bad. As long as it is clearly stated as fan theory. Just as John Simm and Mr. Saxon were being linked to The Master. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Three-Tail (talk • contribs) 20:39, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Unconfirmed Rumor?

According to this article, Amy Winehouse will be reprising the role in the upcoming season. Unsure of the validity, but thought it should be noted... Jlricherson (talk) 15:43, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

oh, I guess it was really an April Fools joke. Ha, don't I look silly, and the three other people who read this article. Jlricherson (talk) 20:24, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
