    Who can forget Mickey being eaten by a wheely bin?

    The only problem was, he didn't die.

    Then again, there wasn't a lot of difference between the real
    Mickey Smith and the plastic doppelg„nger Mickey!

    Anti-Noel Clarke sentiment I take it.

    No Dave, we are talking about a TV character...

    Clarke was a Good Smith!

    I dunno, Mickey had his moments, I thought Rose made a bit
    of a fool out of him though. At one stage he really was just
    the "tin dog"! :-)

    Marrying Martha Jones was a good send off for Mickey but it
    was an unlikely coupling.

    Why unlikely?

    It came out of nowhere.

    Martha Jones was engaged to some medical guy working in Africa,
    whilst Mickey Smith was doing whatever Mickey was doing. The
    fact that Mickey and Martha were married was just thrown at us
    in "The End of Time" for no other reason than RTD wanted them
    both back so the Tenth Doctor could say goodbye to them...which
    is fine for the way RTD throws scripts together. For me, Martha
    Jones going from fancying the Tenth Doctor to marrying Mickey
    Smith just seems an unlikely journey based on her character in
    the show.
