Here it is on youtube.
And now I’m wistfully wishing there were some way for Eleven and Donna to get back together. That would be freaking hilarious.

Within a day? Please, I see it less than one hour after it airs in England! ![]()
Well, I guess some of us have a life that requires we wait until after dinnertime. 
Yep. Me too.
Neil, you brilliant bastard…
Loved the episode, but I kept thinking This should have been a David Tennant episode… Especially when the Doctor found the message boxes and realized what House had been doing. Smith is very good at portraying the Doctor’s chaotic energy, his intelligence, and his sense of humor - his is the funniest of all the Doctors - but Tennant conveyed that and the Doctor’s sorrow, rage, and pain; as well as his moral sense. Tennant just seemed to have more range as an actor than does Smith - the scenes in The Family of Blood between John Smith and the Matron, and the Doctor and the Matron are as moving as any I’ve ever seen on television.
Except for phone booths, that is.
Of course Police Box doors open inwards.
And the sign is for the small Phone door, as has been mentioned previously.

The scenes that everyone’s wondering about, about growing a TARDIS and about the broken chameleon circuit, were scenes that never made it to the final cut. They’re on YouTube, but probably not on any DVDs at present.
R.T.Davies introduces the scene on Bad Wolf Bay and explains that although he loved the scene, it would have been too confusing in a very busy episode and didn’t really further the plot. The Matt Smith quote about the chameleon circuit was supposed to be at the tail end of the Eleventh Hour, and while I enjoyed the extra content, it really would have slowed down the pace of the episode.
There are a lot of these “extra” clips are available on YouTube, ranging from jokes cut to save episode length (from the Satan Pit, for instance) to emotional scenes with Donna and the Doctor that were good but didn’t quite pan with the episode.
When River’s body dies, in The Forest of the Dead episode, her soul is saved into the library computer. I’m guessing Eleven is going to rescue her somehow, there just seems to have been lots of hints pointing back to her first two episodes… (a little girl, a creepy spacesuit, riddles about River in the Forest, etc)
I watch it on Saturday evenings on BBC1. I don’t know what other people in other countries do.
That’s an interesting idea. Those were Moffat’s episodes, and he may have been setting this up entirely from the start. But then again, I have a suspicion that it’s just not heading in that direction.
I thought House’s Universe was more like E-Space than a Parallel Universe. IIRC, The Doctor and Adric escaped E-Space by dumping rooms, including Romana’s bedroom.
I was hoping for the wood paneled control room, too. We did get a taste of it from the console that The Doctor and Sexy built. It even had the shaving mirror.
Seeing you call the Doctor Eleven has me wondering if we’ve had another clue this episode:
Crimson Eleven … what was the rest?
Crimson Eleven Delight Petrichor
Delight and Petrichor
Right! Thanks!
And Amy translated “petrichor” as “the smell of dust after rain”.
I’m with Marlitharn - I didn’t see the Doctor as bragging, just putting House’s threat in perspective. He looked rather sad as he said it.
And as for cheering on the destruction of House - given that much of the episode is devoted to highlighting the strange love affair between the Doctor and the TARDIS, I’m not surprised that the Doctor is going to root for the TARDIS to win. The Doctor is used to bad people and things trying to kill him, and he can forgive that. But try to destroy the people he loves and he gets nasty. He’s done it for Earth numerous times and his feelings for the TARDIS were likely a lot stronger and less abstract at that particular moment.
I’m also not surprised that House managed to kill so many Time Lords. Consider how the Doctor might have fared if he’d arrived without companions and if House had “eaten” (rather than stolen) the TARDIS and then stayed around (with his flunkies) to fight a TARDIS-less Doctor. The odds would have been pretty bad even for a Time Lord of his considerable experience and talent.
I seem to remember a Colin Baker episode where he had a go at fixing the circuits. The tardis materialised in a junk yard in London, scanned the surroundings, then for some reason decided the most appropriate disguise was a pipe organ.
This became a problem later on when they returned to the tardis, but couldn’t work out where the doors were.
(dredging this up from my slightly wonky, silence-addled memory, so I might be wrong)
AND in “SITL” - the therapist who is trying to cure the little girl of her library “hallucinations” is named Doctor Moon, as in “Day of the …”
The chameleon circuit scene is in the extras on the series five DVD set, that’s where I first saw it. Don’t know about the Bad Wolf Bay one, I’ve only ever seen that on YouTube.
Actually… it appears that “petrichor” really is the technical English language term for the smell of dust after rain.
Wow, learn something new every day.
