Our Favourite Bit Of New Doctor Who So Far

In the latest episode, where Amy is in the retro-future Britain starship’s information room, a display in the background of Starship UK’s informational terror video looks kind of familiar. Look to the left of beardy-Mc-Info’s shoulder here.

As for the remainder of New Who, we’re enjoying it a lot. Never mind fretting over any plot inconsistencies, clumsy exposition or The Doctor hacking every computer in the world using a mobile phone, and just enjoy the ride. It’s back!

My favourite bit too. What sad bastards we are.

Oh, also, completely off topic and shamelessly self-promoting, but I've spent two weeks on this and I think it's quite good so if I do manage to get it finished on Monday please check it out and tell your friends and enemies.
