Faithful to a British tradition going back to Carry On and Captain Pugwash, T Davies has injected some not-so-subtle sauce into the franchise and created an instant classic.
Exfoliate! Exfoliate!
But what next? Now Ecclestone's boot boy Doctor is on the way out, it can only be a matter of time before we have our first gay Who. But hold on: a timelord may have two hearts but doesn't he share the rest of his anatomy with... Action Man?

I saw the bi-sexual joke thing introduced an episode or two back with the arrival of Jack. You can see what they're doing. Jack is cardboard cut out Dan Dare type hero, but subtly subverted with the bi-sexual thing. Almost in the same way he subverted the lonely Dalek giving it a heart. One could see it offending purists, but really it's done quite well in true British slapstick style.
As an aside you can imagine that Dalek who terminated himself is kicking his slimy after world arse now as it realises that far from being the last Dalek there's a whole bloody fleet of them.
