Pterodactyls, pyramids, Churchill, Dickens, a cave full of living skulls: that was just the most outrageous fun!   I sometimes forget, in my nitpicking over matters of detail,  just how much I enjoy the show.

The BBC is cancelling Dr Who Confidential. I'll miss it. Last night's final episode performed a public service by giving us River Song's time-line the right way round.  We also got a miniature episode scripted by school children, featuring Nickolas Grace as Einstein. It was lovely. 

The "death of the doctor" promises to be a significant turning point- clearing the way for smaller, less overblown story lines. Also, next season, we're promised the "fall of Eleven"- which implies a regeneration-  plus a consideration of the primal question of the universe...

It was a load of fun, wasn't it? Had I been 9, I would have been behind the sofa during the skulls, and probably had nightmares later.

I'm only sorry we didn't get to see Winston's personal mammoth.

I've groused about aspects of Moffat's tenure, but this episode went a long way towards restoring my faith. It was just so deliciously inventive.
