I don't know. I was thinking paging Lisa Gerrard, the overcranked camera is on standby and then, two minutes later, Murray wakes up and puts `All the Strange, Strange Creatures' on the soundtrack, and suddenly everything was all right.

It would appear that I like that track a lot, and am willing to use it to forgive a multitide of sins.

Schoolboy continuity errors. Twenty minutes too much angst. Crappy monsters. But yes---it was great, wasn't it?

RTD writes his best anything when he's actively trying to subvert assumptions. Had he not just churned out an hour of excellent quality television I'd be calling him a pomo hack as usual, but lately he's become able to do that and simultaneously write awesome TV.

Hell, the best Doctor Who he ever wrote was when he cast a twelve-year-old girl as the Doctor.
