You're entitled to your opinion Aggy but what a shame you're so
clueless about everything that your opinions are always crap.



There was no need for a homage to Del Boy and Lovely Jubbley

Except for the very good reason that it'd amuse the viewers. Most
people want ENTERTAINMENT on a Saturday evening Aggy. Doctor Who
isn't, and never has been, hard SF. Get used to it!

The point was that the TARDIS translates language. A rather clever
idea which now explains why all the aliens since 1963 spoke English.
The TARDIS translated Latin into what Donna would be familiar with;
modern London slang. That's why, when she actually spoke Latin, which
to their ears would be translated into modern English, they thought
she was a Celt. (As this was pre-cockney times they assumed it was the
nearest language that it sounded like to them, Celtic.)


and no need for
stupid GK Maximus and I Came, I Saw, I Conquered jokes by Donna and the
moronic They must be Celtic running gag. Why couldn't they have played it
seriously for a change?

Most of it was very serious. You must have missed that while you were
shouting at the screen like a demented loony.
