Time Crash

Skinny idiot! Decorative vegetable! The back of our head! Brainy specs! Two minutes to Belgium!

Has anyone else noticed that the transition bits between series and specials, and now this, seem to involve David Tennant repeatedly going "What?!" He has about four different inflections, too.

My theory is that he isn't speaking English. He's speaking an alien language that, like Mandarin and Cantonese, has various tonal inflections. So one of them means "your wife is a big hippo!" and another means "more boiling oil!", etc, etc.

Well, going by empirical evidence, the four tones of "What" must mean something like "Ginger woman in TARDIS!" "Oooh look, it's Five", "WTF Titanic BBQ" and "We are so very dooooomed."

Alternatively, "Ginger woman in TARDIS!" could actually be "Boobies!" or "Oh noes, domesticity!"

She does have rather impressive ones.
