The first episode of the new Who:

The whole way through, I was hoping for just one little reference, just one connection to Press Gang. Because, dammit, it's Stephen Moffat and I refuse to believe anyone could move on from creating something so amazing as Press Gang without at least making a bit of a nod to it. After five seasons of it, I've come to know and love his early writing style pretty well. He had some pretty distinct tropes, and I always want to see them in the new stuff.

And there it was! Right at the end (and also right at the beginning really, though it took me till the end to realise that). The very best reference you could ask for. Right down to the dressing gown.

Why do I do so many major scenes in my life dressed in my pajamas?

Also: why in holy hell do I not have a Lynda icon.
