Posting his might prove to be totally inappropriate if it turns out people have been shot in London tonight…..

I’ll post it now though, while I’m unaware of exactly what’s what…..

@thane15    I tried to follow what’s going on with the London attacks on twotter…

Had to stop, as it’s choked with bile & hatred…..

There’s another terroristy attack going on in London. Not good…..

(Warning: Spoilers for this episode) First Thoughts:

Favourite line : ‘His son is serving 10 Years in a labour camp for possession of a box of comics.’

The Seine test proved to be not enough…

The Doctor has just manipulated Bill into shooting him and all he can say is: ‘I could do with a strepsil.’

Bill: ‘I’m gonna beat the sh…’

Missy: ‘I…[Read more]

@FatManInABox  I hope that your return signals that you’re feeling much better, even if the world isn’t exactly much nicer…..

So, as mentioned in post 58298, the Doctor programs the TARDIS for disguise as a pyramid. It doesn’t work of course, because the chameleon circuit is stuck… I couldn’t find the vid clip, so here’s the dialogue:

ADRIC: What do these numbers and letters mean?

On a sad note, (In the next issue of DWM) Steven Moffat reveals why this episode is not as strong as it should have been.

Really hoping that Sutekh is the brains behind the Monks. I’d give that a standing ovation!

The monks remind me of Rascar Capac from Tintin – a mummy that comes alive in everyone’s nightmares…..

I repeat. Bill’s phone ringtone could be of some significance. (see post 58281)

I noticed it before but I wanted to see if any other companions have had the same ringtone. I don’t really have the time to scan every episode to check this! I did do it with the Zygon 2-parter though – Clara’s mobile had a normal ringtone…

The Drumming

Not very episode-specific but I like this song…..

As noted by others elsewhere online…..

They don’t use Google. Search engine of choice is GriffinFinder…

3614 combination may be a reference to Cher’s LP ‘3614 Jackson Highway’…

Bill’s jacket has Okinawa embroidered on the back. The Okinawa campaign was a fight between the US & the Japanese.

What happens if you find the Doctor’s shades?
