      Despite the doctor filling the teapot with a whole box full of teabags, when he tips the liquid into Craig's mouth we can see into the teapot to see it's clearly only filled with water.
    • Quotes

      The Doctor: I'm the Doctor. Well, they call me the Doctor; I don't know why. I call me the Doctor, too. I still don't know why.
