Thinking about Jamie too much is terribly depressing. He barely even remembers the Doctor. It's horrifying, really. At least Rose has her memories.
Ah, but that's why I'm a believer in 6B. Do you know of the theory? Basically, it is to the effect that the CIA (Celestial Intervention Agency, that is) got a hold of the Doctor before the other Time Lords could punish him and got him to carry out missions for him in return for letting him live. Later they gave him back Jamie in order to further bribe him. This is not ever explicitly stated in the text, but it's very much backed up by The Two Doctors with its visibly aged Two and Jamie. Anyway, as the theory goes, Two and Jamie went on missions together until Jamie died (at a ripe old age we all hope) and Two was so distraught that he told the CIA he wasn't going to work for them anymore, so they forced his regeneration and dumped him on UNIT.
