The Shakespeare jokes were inevitable, but at least they were still funny and in keeping with the ideas we have today of who Skakespeare was... The witches thing was worked very nicely into the idea of MacBeth being written in the near future as well. Apart from the one niggle I really did like it :)
Venusian Spearmint though?!?!?!? How the past is devalued. Jon Pertwee must be spinning in his grave.
I've been having a think about the QE1 bit at the end though. There's only one other story I can think of offhand involving Elizabethans which was Silver Nemesis back with Sylvester McCoy. Wonder if Lady pier-wotsername-forte is getting another outing, regeneration issues aside...
Otherwise is the Doctor going for pissing off the whole collection of English Queens??
