Currently doing a rewatch of 11 and Clara’s run together and I noticed something Discussion

Clara’s first line is “what chapter are you on” And when the kid responds “chapter 10” she says “oh you’ll love 11, 11s the best” which I think is a clever nod to his current regeneration, and I also never noticed that the painting in the beginning was of Clara

Prolly not least so he could solve the limited-regens conundrum and get the show past it, at least for another 12 regens to come.
