One amusing typo: " the real Jane Asher was Paul McCartney" - which opens up a whole other realm of potential stories in which she has to combine the two separate existences.

My only regret about SJA was that it wasn't around when I was the target age for it, as I might have loved it even more then. I also think - and will be interested to see your opinion when it comes around - that it features Matt Smith's best performance as the Doctor.
