Were you impressed … ?
I was impressed … !
Seriously … !
I’m in enthusiastic burble mode.
You can tell, can’t you … ?
Ooooh, hang on, the Focus Puller … !
Yes …
I’m definitely burbling, aren’t … !
Right, hang on …
Cup of tea, deep breath …
And let me tell you about tonight’s episode of Dr Who … !
‹‹•››
Episode 10, The Girl Who Waited sees the Dr, Amy and Rory heading off for the resort world of Apalapucia: which the Dr happily claim’s is a lot less touristy than the universe’s best resort.
The trouble is, of course … ?
The one thing you EXPECT to be a problem on ANY foreign trip, really.
Getting caught up in Quarantine, on the way through.
Seemingly … ?
One will affect both the Doctor, and the natives, and kill either within a day.
The unfortunate thing … ?
Is that while the Doctor manages to get he and Rory back to the TARDIS, Amy is caught up in a mildly parallel time stream, initially designed to isolate infected visitors.
Notice I say mildly parallel … ?
Mildly parallel …
And slightly faster.
With the net result that Amy is left stranded for thirty-six years, being chased by the robots, the Hand-Bots.

Now …
I’ll be frank, again, I don’t know if you actually caught The Girl Who Waited, tonight, but if you didn’t … ?
If you didn’t, I personally believe you’ve missed a cracker of an episode!
For starters, Karen Gillan’s performance, as both the older and younger Amy was amazing.
Yes, I know: and I’m honest enough to admit 5’11” of cute redhead’s very hard to ignore … !
But there’s a scene where ‘our’ Amy is interacting with her older self, through a magnifying glass that’s a joy to watch.
I’ll let you catch that for yourself.
But if you’ve missed tonight’s four-handed episode?
Well …
You’ve missed a treat … !

I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
