the approaching viewing of tonight's new episode of Doctor Who (The Silver, i think) reminded me of what bugged me about the end of last week's new episode
in Victorian times against the foe of the Silurians...
Clara's wards, the two kids, threatened to tell their dad that Clara is a time traveler, unless they get to go with her in the time machine. but why was Clara worried? its not exactly a dangerous threat - there's the whole issue of "who would believe if you told?" for one.
