Doctor Who makes snide dig at government in final 60th anniversary special

Doctor Who said the government was “going mad” in the final 60th anniversary special on Saturday, 9 December.

“The Giggle” completed the trio of episodes, where the Doctor, played by David Tennant, discovered the return of a terrifying toymaker whose puppet was driving the human race insane.

“Everyone’s going mad,” the Doctor said.

“So is the government,” replied Kate Stewart.

Following a clip of a government official exclaiming, “What do I care? Why should I care about you?” Donna Noble, played by Catherine Tate, said: “No change there, then.”
