Dr Who: The Unicorn and the Wasp

So, how many Agatha Christie novel titles did everyone else spot hidden in the dialogue.

I cracked up as soon as the professor said "Why didn't they ask - Heavens!" (Why didn't they ask Evans?")  and I think I caught about half a dozen in total.

There was 'Murder at the Vicarage', 'The Moving Finger', 'Sparkling Cyanide', 'Crooked House', 'They do it with Mirrors'

Darn it, I forgot to notice what time the young woman's train arrived.  I wonder if it was the 4:50 from Paddington?

Who caught any that I missed?

Those who haven't seen it yet, see how many you can catch!

BTW - Donna is fast becoming my favourite companion of all time!

There was also Death Comes At The End, and Appointment With Death at least...

Wikipedia was fast and listed:

And word about Donna. My love for her continues to grow and grow and grow.

No, I didn't play "spot the title", but I was having a lot of fun with it anyway.

I didn't realise they were doing it at first, but once I did I had enormous fun doing so.

In addition to your list, I also spotted 'Endless Night' and 'The Body in the Library'. I think they also said 'Hallowe'en Party'. When they started talking about memory at the end, I was wondering if they were going to use 'Elephants Can Remember'.

Donna is marvellous! I am thoroughly enjoying her character, and I think Catherine Tate is doing a great performance.
