hathycolOkay, these thoughts aren't in any order at all, but:
Spaceship of Britain is a lovely idea. HOWEVEVER, I am mildly perplexed as to why the only viewing and mention of any Northern counties is something along the lines of Lancashire being the tongue of a spacewhale. If this was true, the whale would ignore any food that wasn't encased in pastry and would have destroyed Yorkshire long ago. I am just saying this so that anyone not from Britain learns some charming foibles of the North. (Disclaimer: I was born in Lancashire, and rather embarrasingly have accidentally not only moved back here but work on a farm in Lancashire, so technically am Lancashire Lass and yes I have been known to partake of the Pie Balm Cake (with optional side portion of chips in gravy, comment for further details.) I'm just SAYING.
A minor quibble. I enjoyed it anyway, and I thought Liz 10 was great and like the idea that we will only retain a monarchy if the electorate forcibly forgets every five years. Is the queen being in charge again a result of a hung parliament that we might end up with in a month? DISCUSS.
ALSO UNEXPECTED DEMON HEADMASTER. Cunningly he appears to have the same spectacles, meaning that he is instantly recognisable assuming you are a mid to late eighties baby, otherwise you have no idea who he is. If you are within the same age range I am, then well done BBC, you were creeping me out with the horrible faces and then you threw a childhood nightmare in the series. THANKS.
Erm, yes. I enjoyed it, and for a horrible minute at the end I thought that Eleventy was going to go all Ten in his angst, but actually I like the idea that he's working it out of the system, learning that the needless angst is quite often inappropriate.
The spacewhale was a cute idea. Don't be too cross, Doctor, a lot of people in Cardiff ate spacewhale for a time.
And oh, Amy and the Doctor. I love you two like pie, the dialogue between the two is just so snappy and perfect.
Is it next week yet?
