No, it is not.

"Yes, Doctor, I know," said Victoria testily.

Of course there is.

This contains one of my favourite lines in all the Target novels: "Briefly the Doctor explained the workings of London’s Underground Railway system. Oh, did he really? Briefly?

(One of the many things I like about Web of Fear is the attention to detail in the soldiers' uniforms - presumably Duggie Camfield's influence.)

Actually, is it ever established where in Scotland Lethbridge-Stewart is from? Clearly he is - even before it's established in dialogue in Terror of the Zygons, he's wearing the cap of a Scottish regiment. But where? I suspect somewhere in the posher bits of the Forth-Clyde corridor.

Depends on which part of Scotland he's from. They were red in Glasgow, but blue (and to a different design) in Edinburgh.

I'm assuming it's gonna be like Torchwood: Children of Men. Which was good, but dear god it didn't belong in the Whoniverse.

I was trying to work out why it sounded familiar, and then I realised - it's 'I Would Rather Go Blind', isn't it?

Tell that to my socks!

Ironically, this sort of patronising snobbery about the working classes is very much in the Fabian tradition that Glasman affects to despise.

The Guardian's coverage at least gives plenty of space to those saying it's not the asylum seekers' fault, and there are other solutions. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Essentially, Glasman is a massive snob. Labour must be pro-worker, but at the same time, the workers must know their place and not try to rise above it.

I love Chandler. I think The Lady In The Lake and The Long Goodbye are even better than this.
