For us (i.e. in the traditional British account), 1925 is the John Logie Baird invented television (see "The Giggle"). "Doctor Who' is the greatest of all television programme, the best thing there has ever been as Tat Wood says somewhere in "About Time 6". No Baird, no Doctor. Which is unthinkable, a world without the Doctor. See "Turn Left" and probably several other episodes too. But, of course, that all might be a bit too obvious!
This episode was half brilliant (The Maestro) and half horrible (the rest). I get why newbies saw this and Space Babies and thought: this series is way too silly for me.
Never mind the musical number, I have listened to the brilliant ‘I’ve got a dog’ so many times it’s insane.

Frustratingly I think I had actually worked out the significance of 1925 but it escapes me now.
But for what it's worth I believe the Celebrity Historical in the next series features Rock Hudson, who was born in, you've guessed it, 1925.
Russell's going somewhere with this.
