purplecat: The Tardis against a sunset (or possibly sunrise) (Doctor Who)
"Whoever wrote this..." tame layman began after a joke about Newtonian mechanics.

"Douglas Adams."

"What?"

"Douglas Adams wrote this."

"Oh! That explains a lot."

Tame layman thought this both clever and funny. It is certainly full of ideas which do all fit together, in a somewhat Douglas Adams kind of a way. There's nothing stupid about the script once you suspend a certain amount of disbelief (which isn't always true of Doctor Who) and it has Adams' quality of taking its silliness very seriously. However I think the production doesn't do the story full justice and I'm not sure all the actors really understood what was going on.
