Wasn't Doctor Who splendid last night?

There was a lot to like about it, but one aspect has hitherto received little comment, as far as I have been able to discern.

It was i_smell_shite who said it as I was thinking it, but didn't they have some great arse shots of River Song? I mean, wow. Seriously.

It's particularly notable because the revived series of Doctor Who has been markedly deficient in this regard. Freema Agyeman in particular was criminally poorly served.

There's still some way to go to match the classic arse shots of the sixties, but I hope this week's positive step forward is a sign of ambition to surpass those great achievements. And if the production team find they need a few script pages to cover a contrived scenario whereby the Tardis disintegrates leaving only River Song, Martha Jones and Gwen Cooper clinging to the console as it spins through the void, they only have to ask.
