Ok, my viewing was disrupted by taking the goose out to rest., carving the goose, serving the goose, and eating the goose.  But I thoroughly enjoyed it.  I want to read what [personal profile] altariel says about it ... and more importantly, see it again while sober. 

As [personal profile] deadbrowalking members would observe, if you are Black, you die.  And I observe: if you are disabled, you die.  Or it makes you evil.  Or evil (I mean, what else can you do if you are in a society where 'cyborgs are despised'), and you will die.    But despite such unthinking, there was much that was marvellous: the use of tropes from pantomime and cliches from science fiction were spot on. 

I am really sorry that Astrid seems to be ruled out for next year's Christmas special (for one wonderful moment I deluded myself with the thought she could be the next companion (hastily squashed by the thought 'no she can't: she's a pop star, and has got her own line of knickers').
