OK that sucked

I'll do a new Who Review probably tomorrow but they CUT one of my favorite scenes in the whole episode.

I found it on Youtube of course

It added nothing to the plot, didn't advance the story. It's good theater and it showed the Master's insanity, but other than that, it had no intrinsic value. SOMETHING had to go to make room for all the commercials (AFAIK we have about 2 or 3 minutes more commercials than Brit telly). So out it went.

(I thought Brit telly didn't have commercials.)

The scene sets up what has happened in that year. It sets up the insanity of the Master's world. One can imagine that exact scene happening every day for the past year. (I'm going from memory here. I haven't actually seen the episode in months.) But yeah, you're right, something had to go. *sigh*
