Had a facelift, have you?" The Dr. replies "Yes, several." I believe some of the novels have gone into the fact that time lords are slightly telepathic. Not enough for full fledged communications, but enough to aid recognition, help make him an accomplished hypnotist, repel mental attacks (e.g. by the sisterhood in The Brain of Morbius). The ability to recognize others in the face of a dozen faces in a lifetime would be an almost essential ability. -- Darrel J.
