I play a Classic Doctor and I'm never sure how to engage with the NuWho companions in my game without doing the whole cutesy 'does the kissing start to happen a lot' routine (which imo is a genre issue rather than a character issue - I don't think the Classic Doctor is asexual). But at the same time, the character is very different, and I like playing with that culture shock.

I think what I'm asking is - how can I shock people with how different my retro Doctor is without being tedious or coming off like I'm bashing NuWho?
