Some fans have taken this as a reference to Planet of the Spiders, the 3rd Doctor's final appearance. Um, the spiders in question controlled people while sitting on their backs.
Woo, interesting. And plausible. Maybe some of those spider-babies survived the events of "The Runaway Bride"?
very fun (even if the villains were sort of underwhelming)
Yeah. They made me think of 1960s comics, some visuals of Jack Kirby drawings, but I can't quite place it. Some of the Mole Man's acolytes, maybe?
And the whole "Positions!" bit with the Roman family reminded me of Mary Poppins. ♥
I never even thought of that - but of course! I'd forgotten that entirely. Cute.
