Hello, and thank you! I looked NG up after I read your comment and realised he's only a couple of years older than I am, so clearly, we both grew up hiding behind our respective sofas and have been able to introduce our kids to the wonders of DW. That makes me smile. Like I said, I'm not terribly familiar with his work - although I've read a few of his books and enjoyed them (I loved Neverwhere when it was on telly, too!) - and it sounds as though I should definitely be reading his blog, so thanks for that information.

Ten is MY Doctor and I love him (and DT) to bits, but the last part of S4 seemed designed to give him a good kicking when he was down, didn't it? I completely understand why, given where RTD was heading, but it's still hard to watch - and I always think that given all that, the wonder isn't that Ten eventually snapped, it's that he managed to go so long before it happened!

I'll be surprised if anything in S6 manages to top this episode. It's already burrowed its way firmly into my affections :)
