I was going to comment on the Space Babies video but then I realized it was just comparing it to this episode so I just waited for this review. What a throw back to the 60's and not just the Beatles. I mean this feels like a Tom Baker crazy-idea-is-bigger-than-budget episode. Loved that Maestro started the show theme on the piano at end of the cold open. As you mentioned, lots of 4th wall breaks. I do hope there's a pay off with basically the whole cast one time or another staring directly at the audience, and seeing the Doctor scared, like unapologetically scared, was fairly rare, but we are seeing it regularly in these episodes. Like, is Russell T. Davies or Steven Moffat going to be the God of Story, and the season is a cutting critique on the lack of original thought in modern entertainment? Gee I wonder who the God of Time might end up being... I mean I really did like this episode a lot. The vibe of you think Space Babies was an odd topic well here's Jinx as the God of Music, watch as they just absolutely chew the scenery with such joy. Good times and a good review. Thanks!
