  1. You were right. Paul Cornell only wrote this story and Father's Day.

    1. Such a pity, he's an excellent writer. I really hope he comes back!

  2. Was'nt it only the second time in Dr Who history we were treated to an invisable spaceship ? (Unfinished Shada being the point in case)

  3. I think the punishments at the end took on a more mythological or apocryphal metaphysical aspect which tied in with a more godlike view of the Doctor - it paralleled the Jesus film where Christ is offered the temptation of living as a human and marrying Mary Magdelene etc (reflected in that moment with Joan and John Smith). The Doctor gave them eternal life, but one that was in punishment.
