One of the most anticipated episodes of Doctor Who, 'The Girl Who Died', finally aired on BBC One this evening.
Much of the hype was surrounding the appearance of Maisie Williams - aka Game Of Thrones' Arya Stark - as Ashildr, a 'cursed' Viking girl, who appears to recognise the Doctor.
Williams will reprise her role in next week's episode, and fans' reaction to her debut performance was fairly positive, especially given the build-up:
Can Maisie Williams stay in #DoctorWho forever, please?

If @Maisie_Williams is now a permanent recurring character in #DoctorWho then I will be very very happy with Moffat.

The rise of complex TV series and vast novels shows we still prefer commitment to a quick fix
The young woman opposite on the tube last week was lost in Donna Tartt's new novel, The Goldfinch. She personified the truth that attention deficit disorder is a lie. I'm not saying she was weirdly small, but she could have used the 771-page book as a coffee table. She was about halfway through and the covers kept springing back in defiance of her struggling fingers. When she finally got off at Earl's Court she looked like she needed assistance, or a trolley.
Why didn't she read Tartt as an ebook? Why did she choose this inefficient delivery system that proves what Philip Larkin wrote at the end of A Study of Reading Habits, namely that "books are a load of crap"? There seem to be two reasons.
One, the notion of conspicuous consumption developed by Thorstein Veblen.
