All of your niggling points came up as well, although the one we had fun with was Miss Wormwood running in spiked heels. (And geeks that we are, we found a splainin to cover that.)

But still, putting on that helmet of yours and then trying to watch it as if I was part of the target audience, it made for a fun first half. At least the arrival of Karg (?) - the Sontaran at any rate - caught me by surprise.

I guess I'm willing to accept any attempt to bring back Courtney as the Brigadier, with the caveat that we all have our off-days.....

There was one other O'Bservation, but I'll save that, since it was from the second half.....

As for the high heels (presumably only generated as a hologram, rather than because all the tentacles have high heels on them), I did see a race with a bunch of Australian women all wearing stilettos. They did very well.

In "reality", she was running on all her tentacles. Still, it was a funny image. Since it was just a hologram, she should have sailed along down the corridor better.

Yeah... helmet might not have the appropriate connotations..... LOL

I'm guessing the hologram simulates a certain degree of natural movement to match what the Bane is doing. Otherwise it would be a right obvious giveaway.

But it's just kids' TV! We'll be working out the physics of the Bionic Woman next if we're not careful.
