Also regarding that casting spoiler:
I wrote Rory’s dad as a violent abuser in Estuary, but I think we can assume that he won’t be that in Doctor Who. DUDE WE GET TO MEET RORY’S DAD, YAY
His name is Brian, apparently. Which I like because in an original work of fiction I just started, the main father figure was called Brian…

I hope Rory’s dad is somewhat bumbling but awesome at the same time. Like, Rory comes by it honestly, you know? Also hilarious. I always love it when dads make the slightly dorky jokes that only they actually think are funny but everyone laughs at anyway.

I’m hoping he’ll be the next Wilf. ;)

It’ll be an interesting dynamic to see how a father of a Companion deals with someone who is apparently younger than him, but that his son looks up to as someone much older. But, yeah, I like the idea that Rory comes by his bumbling honor honestly. I’d like to see the Lone Centurion’s dad being a perfectly normal, but totally awesome person. (And it will be really interesting to see how a father deals with the man who has put his son through so much and changed him in such extreme ways. Do you think Rory’s dad knows anything about all his “deaths” or his 2000 years as a Roman soldier? How would a father react to that?)

Plus, I wonder if anyone will mention to him that the Doctor is actually his grandson-in-law? :D

Ooh, I hope so! And that he has a granddaughter…!
