Or at least, I think it does. Given the whole Roman numerals on an spiral clock facething, it makes sort of coherent sense, but not sure whether it not just a bit "look at us being clever now". That said - Capaldi is hugely better in this episode than he was in the first, some of the one liners are brilliant ("Great idea for a movie, bad idea for a proctologist" & "She cares so I don't have to"), and as others have mentioned, even Clara shows some signs of acting - although I do think she was chosen more for the visual appeal. And where do we think Mr Pink was a soldier? (Remember the soldier lady in this episode was called Blue. Once upon a Time....)

BBC liked it so much they adapted them for the real credits. the fan pointed out that the doc is a time lord, not a space lord, hence time graphics make more sense than space graphics.

Does the BBC not realise they could lose potentially 100,000 viewers with this somewhat dated hatred of all things military!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Or he might have just died as they say he did.
