We cried. Buckets.

I got the chills during it.

I can't remember if you've read To Serve Them All My Days - I know we had conversations about it - but that's where my head was. A lot.

I did get cross with Paul C for apparently not remembering Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, or at least have one of his characters not remember her.

Crying tears is less painful

I cried a bit. And my head was still in the Flambards space, which made it a particularly poignant episode.

Yeah - Not as much as Fathers Day (or Moffats Girl In the Fire Place) but - Yeah .. Blub city ....

The end was kind of tear-jerky, but I actually mostly felt annoyed with myself for being sucked in by Cheap RTD-tastic Melodrama, not to mention with the director for letting CRTDtM drag a lovely storyline away from the fab classic-Who nature it had been evincing until then.

Me too. Sob. And you're right about the end. I thought setting the whole thing in 1913, with all the moral ambiguity about children being trained to fight, and the foresight of what was to come, was sheer genius.

Very different Who, and very thought-provoking.
