Well, I thought, something to while away the long weeks between now and the Xmas Special. The subject matter is probably asking for trouble, but we've had Doctors, we've had companions, we've had monsters, Master vs Master wouldn't last very long, so here we have... HISTORICAL GUEST STAR VS HISTORICAL GUEST STAR!!! As "in historical characters what the Doctor has met (onscreen)", battling TO. THE. DEATH. Please refresh your knowledge of the house rules before commencing play: deathbyaspirin.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=dwdiscussion&action=display&thread=422And here are our historical desperadoes: Queen Nefertiti (12) H.G. Wells (12) Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus a.k.a. Nero (12) King Richard I "Coeur de Lion" (12) Marco Polo (12) William Shakespeare (12) Agatha Christie (12) Richard Nixon (12) King John (12) George Stephenson (12) Jeanne Antoinette Poisson, Marquise de Pompadour (12) Maximilien Robespierre (12) Wyatt Earp (12) Charles Dickens (12) Queen Victoria (12) Vincent Van Gogh (12) I missed out Hitler, cause...well... And Churchill. And authors totally do count as historical characters. Go on, have at 'em. Just like that episode of Red Dwarf with the waxworks. ;D

Queen Nefertiti (12) H.G. Wells (12) Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus a.k.a. Nero (12) King Richard I "Coeur de Lion" (13) +1 Marco Polo (12) William Shakespeare (12) Agatha Christie (12) Richard Nixon (12) King John (12) George Stephenson (12) Jeanne Antoinette Poisson, Marquise de Pompadour (10) - 2 Maximilien Robespierre (12) Wyatt Earp (12) Charles Dickens (12) Queen Victoria (12) Vincent Van Gogh (12)
Whoa, this is a difficult one. *headscratch* Anyway, I randomly upvoted Nefertiti and downvoted ''Reinette'' simply because that bland-piece-of-vanilla-portrayal in GitF is an insult to the actual lady.
Other figures (in case we do this one again someday):
Poppea Sabina the Younger Hypatia Joan of England, Queen of Sicily (''Joanna'') Ṣalāḥ ad-Dīn Yūsuf ibn Ayyūb a.k.a. Saladin Al-Adil I a.k.a. Saphadin Kublai Khan Queen Elizabeth I Catherine de Medici Francis Bacon King Louis XV Napoléon Bonaparte Abraham Lincoln Louis Pasteur Doc Holliday Johnny Ringo Ike Clanton Bing Crosby Marilyn Monroe (kind of?) Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy Alex MacIntosh The Beatles
Note: I used only people who appeared in actual episodes, not web casts, charity stuff etc.

Robespierre got taken away from because I just got done learning about the French Revolution today, and Van Gogh got a point because I like Starry Night.

The Lionheart gets it in the neck because I've never liked him much...and his bro gets a point because nobody has a good word to say about him ;D

(And nice list of alternative people, Maggadin - if we ever do this again we've got a starting point there).

Well, we could use them all the next time, although that would probably lead to a long game... Queen Nefertiti (12) H.G. Wells (13) Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus a.k.a. Nero (12) King Richard I "Coeur de Lion" (11) Marco Polo (13) +1 William Shakespeare (12) Agatha Christie (12) Richard Nixon (8) -2 King John (13) George Stephenson (12) Jeanne Antoinette Poisson, Marquise de Pompadour (10) Maximilien Robespierre (10) Wyatt Earp (12) Charles Dickens (12) Queen Victoria (12) Vincent Van Gogh (13) I don't care very much for Richard I, either. As I said, my voting is fairly random, this time.

You know what will happen when you've killed him off, though, don't you? You won't have Dick Nixon to kick around any more! That's a historical in-joke. Queen Nefertiti (12) H.G. Wells (13) Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus a.k.a. Nero (12) King Richard I "Coeur de Lion" (7) -2 Marco Polo (13) William Shakespeare (14) Agatha Christie (12) Richard Nixon (6) King John (14) George Stephenson (12) Jeanne Antoinette Poisson, Marquise de Pompadour (8) Maximilien Robespierre (8) Wyatt Earp (13) +1 Charles Dickens (12) Queen Victoria (12) Vincent Van Gogh (14) And yeah, Wyatt Earp killed folks for money. That makes him practically clean compared to some of the characters in that list.

Okay, I'm gonna be evil for the lulz this time. ;D

Which episode/serials did H.G. Wells, George Stephenson, and Wyatt Earp appear in again (by the way, did I ask this question before or am I imagining things? I can't see it in my previous post, yet I could have sworn I wrote it)?

Well, H.G. Wells allegedly appeared in Timelash (although there's a very well-founded imho argument in the About Time books that such are the discrepancies between the onscreen character and the facts of the actual historical personage's life that it's probably some other would-be Victorian writer who just happens to have the same name... ;D). George Stephenson, him of the seriously wandering NE of England accent, is one of the people who don't get turned into trees in Mark of the Rani. And Wyatt Earp appears, of course, in The Gunfighters, where he is played by John Alderton, himself a moderately famous British TV actor and the RL husband of Pauline Collins, who played nearly-companion Samantha Briggs in The Faceless Ones and Queen Victoria in Tooth and Claw.

Ooo! Look what you guys are up to over here... seems like helping kill someone is about right for this evening. Hm. I rather agree with the trend of the moment... didn't care for that one much either... tempting to also copy you on Nero, he was excellent. Think I'll toss Vincent a bone this time instead.
