> By the way, Farnsworth’s ancestors actually existed (although I don’t know if they were related to one another). Philo T. Farnsworth, of course, was famous as the pioneer of electronic television. Dean Farnsworth really did invent the colorblindness test. And David Farnsworth actually was a counterfeiter in Revolutionary times and was eventually hanged for his crimes.

I happened to look that up on Wikipedia the other day and it was a very nice trivia bonus for the episode. I’d heard of Philo Farnsworth, but not the others. I thought this was a very funny episode - I loved “you fhithead” - and goddamit, I want a Franklinator.

I wanted this to be a two parter just so we could see more of the British future.  
That was maybe the only downside of this episode. I liked the beginning, but by the time they got to the alternate future, there wasn’t much time left to fix everything.

This is actually the second part of season six. There are six more episodes.

I couldn’t tell, which Doctor ran into the TARDIS in the British Future?
