And wasn't it Christmas dinner that he went strolling off to with "The Next Doctor" who wasn't?

I liked this episode, although it's not one that I'll feel the need to revisit often. I was particularly taken with that line, "Do what I do, hold on tight and pretend it's a plan".

I finally got to see this one. They've just broadcast it here today. It was okay. It started out quite well, in fact, Lancaster anachronisms aside.

But basically bringing the pilot father back from the dead? Sorry, a step too far. Too sentimental, trying to stop any possibility of sadness in a Christmas Special, especially after the conversation between the Doctor and Madge, concerning how sad things did sometimes happen to spoil happy occasions. It was at that point I began to hope that they wouldn't find a way for the father to survive. I had a horrid feeling my hopes would be dashed.

And, as has been mentioned, where was the rest of the crew? What about the crewmember who was injured (if never seen, only mentioned)?

Okay, but could have been much better. On the plus side, Matt Smith is growing on me. Not grating as much as he did.

the Lancaster issue is a mistake and I think hands should be held up because that's the kind of historical inaccuracy that you expect in an American film about British history, not something from the BBC (who actually sent reporters on raids in Lancasters!)

Still, it was great to see such a wonderful machine in the show!
