[QUOTE]Originally posted by Lee: [QB] The name Saxon, for me, immediately brings up certain associations. I've not been following any spoilers regarding upcoming s3 episodes, so I don't know if there's anything involving a rightwing British government in there. It may all come to nothing, be a red herring. . . But the nature of the namedrops is weird. "VOTE SAXON?" The only people who'll vote for him are the inhabitants of his own constituency - unless by some huge coincidence he is a Cardiff MP (and therefore more than likely Welsh, and not the sort of person you'd expect to lead a nationalistic British political party); the only "VOTE BLAIR" signs I ever saw had "GET BROWN" after them, and were by a different party. "Open fire, by order of Mr. Saxon?" Er, no, you're in charge of the tank detachment, they'll open fire by your order, and that's not something you'll be questioned on by the men under your command since you've obviously been despatched onto the streets with a full ammunition load in response to an alien threat. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recurring_themes_in_Doctor_Who#Mr._Saxon [QUOTE]Mr. Saxon is a name that has now been referenced twice in the series, first being mentioned in the 2006 season episode Love & Monsters, where it appeared in a headline on a copy of The Daily Telegraph being read by the Abzorbaloff, in which it is stated that he leads polls for a general election. It is then heard in The Runaway Bride, when the tank commander who opens fire on the Empress of the Racnoss' ship says he has orders from "Mr. Saxon". The nature of how the name has been slipped in to these episodes can be compared to the how previous 'arc words' were referenced. It was confirmed on the commentary track for Love & Monsters on the series 2 DVD boxset that 'Mr. Saxon' will be the story arc for the upcoming 2007 series. Additionally, the Captain Jack Harkness episode of Torchwood features the words 'VOTE SAXON' on a poster on the door of the derelict dance hall. Like the Love & Monsters reference, the poster is political in nature and references an election.[/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
