   It's TV... Nobody is THAT nice and smarmy without having some   
   agenda.   
      
   It's a trope! ;-)

   It's TV... There has to be a 'message' in everything!   
      
   Just as there's always a twist at the end, there's always a   
   message to get across.

   Maybe a new Time Lord villain - The Governor.   
      
   Or she just likes watching "The Chase"?

   Conrad the cad... it has a certain ring to it, don't you think?

   0/10 is legitimate.   
      
   Not that I thought this episode was THAT bad, but I can see why   
   a lot of people wouldn't like it.
