4. The ultimate bedroom Where are the beds? Well I couldnt fit everything in! Sacrifices had to be made!
This episode is far from the Eleventh Doctors best, but there are moments of pure joy. This is one of them. The Doctor takes his childlikeness and cluelessness to comical extremes (hes been knocking about on his own for too long), resulting in things like lemonade taps and broadly functional doors. Its endearing because its the Doctors attempt to make normal into something amazing, because thats the only thing he knows how to do when hes stuck in real life. Its too much, but thats because the Doctor doesnt do anything by halves. Even when he really should. But most of all, its a lovely moment because every kid wanted that bedroom as a child. Beds are boring, who needs themgive me a selection of torches for secrets snacks and reading, a scale model of the house, and dolls with comical expressions any day.
