   It’s a BBC Sunday evening drama. You would be better off   
   comparing it to Prisoner 951 or Riot Women etc.

   IIRC the bends is caused by rapid change in pressure. It   
   was already established that the big bubble they were all in   
   was at surface pressure. As long as Salt’s hydrostatic water-bending   
   kiss maintained that pressure, there was very little risk of   
   the bends.   
      
   The real question is why didn’t all the other Homo Aqua escape   
   that way? (I can understand why they might not want to rescue   
   the remaining humans though.)

   Gay? Was he using her as a beard? If so, why was the relationship   
   secret?

   What files? It was Homo Aqua tissue samples that were stolen   
   and given to the businessman.   
      
   >   
   > At this point I totally lost the plot. BECAUSE THERE ISN'T ONE!   
      
   And yet you can’t even remember the very few plot points that   
   there were.

   I think that might’ve been the same businessman mentioned above.   
      
   I could be wrong but it looked as though the evil generals tricked   
   the PM into killing him because now he’d given them the tissue   
   samples he had outlived his usefulness. They told the PM that   
   he was also working for another rival warmongering conspiracy   
   that they blamed for the assassination attempt and the bomb.   
   But we have seen any evidence that this other conspiracy even   
   exists, so they were probably lying.   
      
   But yes, you’re right. This sequence was very confusing. Hopefully   
    it will be cleared up next episode when UNIT get round to   
   investigating the murder.

   How did Barclay know that driving backwards then braking would   
   cause the chains to come undone? And the tank door to open?   
      
   He would’ve looked very silly if it hadn’t worked!

   No, it’s the fictional Jubilee Bridge that seems to be upstream from   
   Westminster, somewhere between the Charing Cross railway bridge   
   and Waterloo Bridge.   
      
   Talking of fictional geography, the building where the talks take   
   place seems to be on the real-life site of Lambeth Palace, the   
   official London residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury. So   
   where does he live in the Whoniverse? (That’s assuming it   
   even has an Archbishop of Canterbury in the first place!)
