I didn't think this was quite as good as The Day of the Doctor though I admit to some mistiness of the eyes and possibly some hand-holding. It was very moving and closes Eleven's story well, but there was just one massive bugbear which stopped me being entirely happy with it.

I do actually have some posts stored up. Here is one of them, pictures ganked from Facebook.

As usual all the World Cup games are on overnight, but we're getting up to watch the last one of each day which comes on at 6:30am here. We're about to be creamed by Slovakia--and they're the easiest in our group--but I'm not staying up another two hours for that.
