I always thought he had finally fixed the chameleon circuit and the car was the TARDIS. ---

Ah, just over 24 hours. I’ve read far too many spoilers, though, so I won’t comment too much. I hate that I do that. Can’t help it. ---

I’ve searched for spoilers and found very few. But, like you said, just over 24 hours. We’ll find out soon enough. ---

> [@Nobody](#): > > Of course he whacks when he sleeps with himself…oh wait, you meant…nevermind… Heh, reminds me of the time [Amy discovered the Doctor’s wank-bank](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeJ4Ak2xCkw). Unreleased scene, only available on DVD and YouTube. Amy: Out of all those friends (referring to past companions), how many would you say, just out of curiosity, were girls? The Doctor: [getting increasingly uncomfortable] Oh… some of them, I suppose. Must have been. Amy: “Some?” The Doctor: It’s hard to tell. It’s a grey area. Amy: Under half, over half? The Doctor: Probably… slightly… a little bit over. Amy: Hmm. Young? The Doctor: Everyone’s young, compared to me. Amy: [chuckles] Hot? The Doctor: No, no no no no no no, none of them. Not really. Not at all. Probably not… [scratches his cheek nervously] … maybe one or two. I didn’t really notice. Amy: Well, this big ol’ machine must have some kind of visual records. The Doctor: Oh, god, I mean no–and anyway, they’re voice-locked! ---

Rory escapes death again the the Hotel. The Hotel showed him the exit. I’ve lost count of how many times Rory somehow avoids death. Maybe his death is a fixed point in time? They say River kills a very good man. Could it be this obvious and easy? ---

Apparently the broadcast time in the UK varies, but I think it’s _mostly_ around 7pm GMT. I want to know (aside from “the oldest question in the universe”) if we find out, after two years, why Amelia Pond’s childhood home is bigger on the inside. Yes, yes, it really is. I’ve wondered this since “The Eleventh Hour”. From the outside is clearly has only two stories. From the inside, three. What?
