I know a song called 'The Gift'.
It's by The Velvet Underground and is about a guy who mails himself to his girlfriend because he can't afford the bus. Then his girlfriend opens the parcel by stabbing it with a huge pair of scissors...
I doubt that the SJS story will be anything like that.Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!

And they're bound to go on strike just after you posted it, so you'd have to face a week stuck in a sorting office as well.

I hope he remembered to put air holes in the packaging.

Waldo Jeffers does indeed remember the air-holes:

Is that his real name? Sounds like a Master-esque alias for Wayne Jefferies.

Well anyway, bit of a disappointing episode this week. Very limply directed. And the subplot about Clyde using K-9 to cheat at a biology test was dull, dull, dull.
Even with Simon Callow and Miriam Margolyes as the Blathereen!Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!

Miriam Margolyes is long overdue a role in Doctor Who! She deserved better than this.

It was certainly a bit... uneventful, for a season finale. Maybe, to be fair, we've just been spoiled over the past few weeks with some real corkers!

It's an okay story, I think, but not worthy of the finale slot. IMO, I think they should have put The Mad Old Woman in the Attic first, this story second, and the Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith last. That would have been a much better series.
For every fail, there is an equal and opposite win.
...Oh, who am I kidding?

I agree, it's such an odd choice for a season finale. It would be a bit like swapping around the running order of, say, season 8 so that The Daemons is mid-season and Colony is the last one.
That said, I enjoyed part 2, but again it was nothing outstanding. It's almost as if somebody somewhere believes that the Slith/Blathereen are always a popular hit, so any story with them is automatically a hit (bit like the Dalek factor). I mean, maybe they are, but I don't get that impression somehow.

In the end, I rather enjoyed that!
I think knowing that the Slitheen / Blathereen were voiced by Simon Callow and Miriam Margolyes really helped. The direction was still really limp though.Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!
