Also that the Doctor’s affection with Craig makes Lynda Baron’s character think they are a gay couple. It’s a gratifying sign of the times that this story can feature the Doctor giving a man a back massage and then flirt outrageously with him to take his mind away from the fact that he has just been teleported. Pleasingly he seems much more at home in the latter. Once the scientific advisor to the most powerful military force in the world, now the Doctor is an assistant in the toy section of a department store. There’s no point in the Doctor telling himself not to notice things and just go…he is attracted to a mystery like a moth to a flame. Nutty Professor: How many people watching this wished they had the Doctor’s magical ability to stop a baby crying in an instant? There is a brilliant moment where Matt Smith seems to be channelling Tom Baker’s quirky performance and picks up a pepper grinder and starts grinding it over Craig’s back for no apparent reason. This story in a nutshell: Craig is back and so are the Cybermen.
