I liked the "my cousin, Adeola" explanation.

I'd rather they hadn't mentioned it. It just draws attention. And also, how many identical cousins are there in the world? It makes me worry about what's really behind all those family rows.

Did we get a name for her friend, the other girl?

Do you mean the other med student who'll only slow them down? Looking at the credits, I think she must be Julia Swales. Martha's myspace blog (http://www.myspace.com/marthajonesuk) (which I think we now have to assume has the same status as whoisdoctorwho.co.uk and such) talks about a Julia who has just split up with her fiance. But "Made of Steel", the S3 Quick Read, has a Rachel Swales at Royal Hope. So I think there has been a name change at some point between Terrance Dicks being given the materials to write his book with and the final making of the ep.

The problems with the physics I ignore by taking a Faction Paradox-ish approach that to higher beings adapting tech is all about manipulating the symbolism rather than the actual physics. The Doctor can make an X-ray machine into a gun because humans have a thing about "radiation".
