Uh. okaay. thats interesting. I think.
About the public outrageat RTD's comment... I think that people are looking at this too closely and taking it a little too personally.
I mean lets all not pull out the big guns condemning him just yet. At the core of the article, it is acknowledged that RTD was making a throwaway joking comment about Hitler being a time lord and the other 80% of the article is ranting about said comment.

Davies said Hitler could be a timelord, not that he was the Doctor, which seems to be what some of these people assume.
I could see 'Hitler' being one of The Master's attempts at world domination, or that of some other evil Timelord.__________________

Ah, Doctor Who Christmas Special--
A yearly tradition that has not yet palled. Who knew that Kylie Minogue could act? I certainly didn't.
The story was Die Hard meets The Poseidon Adventure IN SPACE but it had the Doctor in it.
Another reason why Russel T. Davies was the best thing to happen to Doctor Who since . . .
dare I say Virgin New Adventures?

I think this was more of a case of Quirk's Exception.---------------
