I love when the show is self referential.

They happen to come cross a gas mask for no particular reason, and someone, I think The Doctor, picks it up and puts it half way on and says “Are you my mummy” then they just move on like nothing happened.

I think I was too wibbly from all the timey wimey abstract text.

I agree about the “Are you my mummy” episode, tho.

Did you notice the later reference to “Are you my mummy”?
