HEAVEN SENT

We all watched Doctor Who together last night... but am I the only one who didn't know what was going on?

I asked Wilson to explain it to me, and he said, 'Really, New Dad! It's a CHILDREN'S programme — do try to keep up!'

When he saw that I was genuinely flummoxed, he did try to explain the plot to me, but after a while he gave up.

'Do you know what, New Dad? I can't be dealing with this — I have problems of my own: I can't decide whether or not the lovely Clara is REALLY dead, or whether The Doctor will miraculously bring her back!'

That was the only part of the episode I was sure I DID understand — Clara is gone for good. But I said nothing, as W was clearly upset.

'Go and look it up on-line,' he concluded. 'Here's a good site that should make everything clear enough even for you: http://tinyurl.com/p3dxvm7

I retired to the kitchen to look it up, chastened.
