It is 8.10 on Sunday morning

I am awake, after a grand total of about 3 hours of sleep, and I am so filled with delight after The Day of the Doctor that I am not sure I can go back to bed.

No spoilers, because I know a lot of Aussies will be watching it tonight, but it is a thing of great joy and beauty and if you do not breathe a little gasp of surprise and wipe away a tear in the last five minutes, then you are Gen Y or lacking a soul.

Oh Doctor … it is the only show that I was allowed to watch as a child, you know. My father was wise.

I went back to bed and dreamed snatches of so many episodes. Just lovely. Craig Ferguson had a great song about Doctor Who with lyrics along the lines of it being the triumph of intellect and romance over brute force and cynicism, and I think this episode encapsulated that perfectly.
