Christmas Special

Just saw the Doctor Who Christmas special.

Nonspoilerly reaction is- I think I enjoyed it more than I've like DW in a long, long time.  Although.... *facepalms* at effects.  The creature-things (face of badguy, body of I'm not sure what)  were what I would have expected back in the days of the first or second Doctor. 

In the musical "Annie" the not nice woman running the orphanage is Miss Hannigan, I assume the similariaty in name was planned?

Yes.

Some posts on the subject:

Old stuff, though. Probably all irrelevant now.

oooh, you haz mad smarts!

Ianto being a diminutive of John makes "Yan" seem even stupider when it's used in fanfic. And I'm not even going to TOUCH Yanny or Yannyboy with a 10 foot pole.

I hate "Yan" with the burning hate of a thousand fiery suns. Argh.

"Yannyboy"? Somebody used THAT? *shakes head* People are SCARY.

(No mad smarts, just too much over-thinky.)

Yan is bad. It just rubs me in a bad way.

One, truly terrible author, uses all sorts of bizarre nicknames. Yannyboy is the only one I really remember. I learned very quickly to quit clicking the links that have anyhting to do with that specific username
