Ever since I found out the director for this had never done Who before or since it felt like as good an explanation as any for some of the weirder stuff (like the overuse of Dutch angles). Would also explain why the ending works on paper / when you think about it but seems quite overwrought in execution.
Also trivia which you may know, they published a New Series Adventure called "The Story of Martha" that was meant to fill in the gaps and also show the stories Martha told, except most of the stories are more depressing than inspiring...
He had already done The Sarah Jane Adventures pilot and some Torchwood though, so was no stranger to Upper Boat. He did come back, too. For The Fires of Pompeii (yay!) and more Torchwood (hmmm).
“International corner: the random shot of some Indians apparently thinking “Doctor”.”
Of course they are; all doctors are Indian.
