Over both seasons there are lines of dialogue here and there, behavioural tics and stuff, that all pile up on top of each other to build a bigger picture. Not so much like, say, Buffy, where Theme X is explicitly mirrored in Demon Y this week so that at the end we can have Revelation Z in order to start afresh again next season. Here we have new, unrelated situations coming out of left-field with every adventure, woven together by the threads of The Doctor and Rose with the Tardis as the needle.

As for the Tardis.... This is something that I think is one of those behind-the-scenes slow-burners. Now stretched over both seasons, we're building up a view of the Doctor/Tardis relationship, and you know what? It’s one of the great buddy pairings of all time!

The Tardis isn’t just his Millennium Falcon, it’s also his Chewie.
