"People have often said to me the kilt is too short."
Fraser Hines, The Mind Robber commentary

In a, er, continuing series exploring the Deep and Meaningful Love of Jamie and the second Doctor, I present The Mind Robber, recapped and retold to highlight the fact that it is, really, a Heart-Warming Love Story.

THIS MAY BE THE BEST STORY EVER. Really. I mean that. A lot.

The Mind Robber: A Love Story Outside of Time & Space

Tension! The TARDIS is about to be buried by a volcano's lava flow (cause, last time, the Doctor decided to blow up an island, for reals) and Jamie is, naturally, e'er so slightly worried.

Jamie helps by doing hand!porn. Possibly OT3 hand!porn: Doctor/Jamie/TARDIS 4eva!

But things just get worse and they get zapped out of the universe. Naturally, this means Jamie must cling to the Doctor.

Eek! There is something outside! Something scary! Clinging is inevitable.

"Don't go outside, Jamie," says the Doctor. "It are scary, and you are so wee and fragile!"

Then the TARDIS breaks up, everyone gets lost and Jamie loses his face. Luckily, the Doctor is on hand to help, hurrah!

Oopsie. The Doctor gets it slightly wrong. New face! Sekritly the Doctor thinks how neat it is that Jamie is a bit like a Time Lord now.

The Doctor shows Jamie that he still loves him no matter what face he wears by touching. And then looking up his kilt.

A chance for another new face! The Doctor sneakily tries to pick the wrong one, but luckily Zoe is on hand to shake her head and tell him to stop being so silly.
