Percus)... +--------------- | How does one explain Pertwee's Doctor's very poor bodily condition | after "having been regenerated," as opposed to Romana II's flawless | physiological performance in "Destiny of the Daleks"? In both cases, | there was no harm to the body before the regeneration, and I would | imagine that the Time Lords can perform a regeneration on someone | as skillfully as that person could do it himself. So, if that's the | case, Pertwee's Doctor should be in as good, or better shape in | "Spearhead from Space" as Romana II in "Destiny of the Daleks." +--------------- Romana did it to herself; it was forced on Troughton->Pertwee from outside. He probably fought it (unconsciously?), which would account for his condition. Perhaps it was an ``incomplete'' regenereation? --Brandon -- This is a recording.
