Spoilers Ho! There are graphic links to upcoming episodes and titles with far too much information if you look too closely at the right hand sidebar on Behind the Sofa. But it’s a “for adults only” kind of fan/review site with plenty of, er, bodily fluids being bandied about, spewed, and wiped up. But it’s quite funny and insightful reading, once you step around the gleeful puddles of fangoo generated by the reappearance of some crabby monsters – just as a kind of slobby bottom-dressing to the main action – from a “classic” episode in 1967.

Behind the Sofa – The Collaborative Doctor Who Blog: Gridlock

Well, the catnun doesn’t inspire any confidence, and when she pulls out a gun it doesn’t inspire confidence at all. The Face of Boe doesn’t improve things, as bad memories of New Earth abound. Then the Doctor speaking far too loud over the rain and some people selling emotions (the patches which include bliss, sleep and forget… now emotions… hmmm…) Plus one of them describes people as carjackers because they kidnapped someone into a car…

Catnun! I loves me some catnuns! And it turns out to be dear old Novice Hame, and the Face of Boe looks craggier than ever. Later on, it gets better: an entire underclass of people, catpeople, otherpeople, and human/cat hybrid kittens in millions of levitating Winnebagoes, forever stuck in an eternal jam-up on the New New York motorway. Naturally, I went all “Squee!!!!” when the Doctor encountered a catman dressed as an Irish-brogue-speaking pilot in a leather flight helmet, whose human wife had given birth to kitten babies a few months before. When they were revealed from behind a tatty curtain, the mewing sounded quite a bit like “ma-ma!”

So very, very cute.  It made me forget all about the inconsistencies in the story, so helpfully pointed out in the review.

Hang on a moment, though…. why don’t we ever see the catnun’s ears? or the catpilot’s ears? I want to see kitty ears next time, because wimples and helmets are just cheating.
