Lovely! I wonder how many Adipose missed the ship - when they showed the episode I had an idea that there would probably be a load of them in the sewers afterwards.

*snerk* And now I have visions of them being trod on by the Cybermen hiding down there. Or all them merging together into a giant Marshmellow type Adipose!

Glad you liked it. :D

Belated thought on this, and on the original episode - what the hell were they thinking to schedule the adipose separation thing for 1 AM? I can't remember the last time I was in bed that early, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Got to admit, I was very surprised when I went back and rewatched the episode for the exact time - I was positive it was around 3 or 4 in the morning.

At least, that's the time I would have set it for myself. I swear, those of us who have read the Evil Overlord list wouldn't make half these mistakes...

Just a note that I did see this and bookmarked it - however I'm falling over tired so this will be waiting for me tomorrow or Sunday after the fam goes home. I adore that you even wrote for me...and that it has to do with the cutest alien spawn ever. *SMOOCH* I'll be back.

Wait... does this mean I get to tell you "GO. TO. BED." ?
