I remember having NIGHTMARES about this episode all week long when I first saw it when I was 12. But more importantly, I remember that GIRLS on the back of the school bus were talking about the creepy gas mask child. Girls watched this show too! This nerdy science fiction show was popular! I was cool. Thanks Moffat.

I've just check iPlayer and the episode length is 41:47, so maybe you misread it? When series 1-4 were originally upscaled to HD for the blu-rays the framerate was changed from 25fps to 24fps, making the episodes 4% longer - but even if that was the version on iPlayer, it doesn't account for 10 minutes.

Huh, you're right. How very odd.

I've just checked the archive - the only version held is the original, there's been no reversioning (which does sometimes happen, especially as content gets older) as far as I can see. I'm blaming a Glitz in your personal Matrix.
