(Only quibble: I still am not convinced River is in the suit when the Astronaut comes out of the water in 6.1. Just because your prediction of River’s parentage turned out to be true doesn’t mean the other prediction is true, as well! Nothing about River being Amy’s daughter would explain why that Astronaut appears and disappears out of that lake…)

Let me add my congratulations to you, Chris and Laura, on your upcoming wedding! I hope you have a wonderful celebration surrounded by lots of friends (maybe even some imaginary ones with blue boxes…)

PS. The Silent driving instructor — incredibly funny!

Just to let you know that Raeli (your six year old Australian fan) was delighted with the new episode – after bugging me EVERY DAY since the airing of a Good Man Goes to War to see if the latest Ood Cast was up yet. She listened intently on the way to and from soccer – and when she finally twigged that your opening sketch was mirroring the episode itself (round about the time that Laura was announced as having been kidnapped – she is only six) she laughed so loud I thought she was going to throw up.

I was actually amazed how much all the members of my family enjoyed this episode since the Ood Cast is the only Doctor Who podcast they listen to, whereas I listen to most of the ones who cameo’d here and so loved all the in jokes and parodies within parodies. It was such a good script!

Raeli (and I) also loved the closing song. I will have to add it to the list of classic music she heard the Ood Cast version of first… oops! Obviously I’m falling down on exposing her to pop culture history.

In closing, she was delighted to hear that Chris Sigma and Laura are getting married, but while she laughed at Laura changing her name to Sigma, she later gave it some serious thought and decided that actually, Simpson is a much better name and Chris should change his to that instead! Ahh, Amy Pond, influencing a whole generation of young women…

Hope you all have a great break (and wedding!) and come back all refreshed when we finally get our show back.

Cheers,
Tansy (and Raeli) in Australia!

I’m creeping out of lurkerdom to say, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA (gasp) HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! (wheeze) hahahaha hee hee hee!

Thank you for making Tuesday bearable. Weeeeell, except for the tea I had to mop up. Twice. At work. Okay, and making me laugh so hard I dropped my crochet in front of Starbucks, earning me a few odd looks. You’re always brilliant, but this ep was a corker! Have a great summer and I hope you post lots of pics of the wedding!!! Yay, congratulations!!

Plus, it’s inevitable that people in the US and Canada will say “England” when they mean “Britain” (though the Canadians really ought to know better). But for a Brit to do it??? Tut tut.

Kudos to whoever had to edit this lot together!
