The Armageddon Out of Here Factor "Come to London. Hang out with the stars at TV Centre. That's what my agent said. Nothing about running through unconvincing corridors for 6 weeks. And then we just threw the key away at the end. That's it. I'm done. You've got Lalla's number."

The Power of Hull "My eyes lit up when I heard it was a Robert Holmes story. But this is more "low tech" than Sutekh. Less unnerving than Nerva Beacon. More functional than functionaries. Plus, I'm from the Pennines. Round here it's just flat, wet and everything smells of fish."

Androids of Ta-ra "I've had enough. While you were off fishing, I found the segment, pocketed it, was attacked by the least convincing monster we've seen all season, including the Shrivenzale, and then "rescued" by a charming medieval aristocrat out of central casting. I'm off."

The Scones of Blood DOCTOR: That Vivien Fay can certainly bake. But if I were you I'd stay away from her strawberry jam. It smells a bit funny to me. And as for the cream... ROMANA: No problem. I'm from Yorkshire. I just have butter with my scones.

The Pirate Slant "He's a clever lad, that Douglas Adams. But why he decided to set a pirate story in Halifax I'll never know. It's about 50 miles from the sea, plus the building society moved out of town and took the money with it. He doesn't know his arrrs from his elbow."

The Ripon Operation "What a fuss! I've seen scarier dogs than that Shrivenzale down the racing track. If the Graff Vynda-K's money was really burning a hole in his pocket, I'd have sold him Leeds United. And Binro was only right about one thing. I'm always bloody right!"

Next time we'll compare it with 12th #DoctorWho story Under The Lake / Before the Flood, the link being that they're both the 100th story of their respective runs.

Just use that part of the ruler and you'll be fine. It's only the first inch that has the extra marks for the thirty-seconds.
