Sad that I am, I was trying to work out the punchline to the joke when the kid started talking like a satnav (I do that when I'm a passenger sometimes, surprised people still give me lifts anywhere).
Didn't think of "Thomas Thomas" though. Excellent!
It was a bit of a gratuitous joke that didn't go anywhere. Unless it's later revealed to have some deeper significance (which I doubt). Still, it raised a chuckle, even if I did see it coming the moment Strax asked him what his name was.
I knew there was *something* odd about the way the boy spoke, and I was trying to think of a Victorian character whose name 'Thomas Thomas' could have been a play on. Doh!
I have plenty of gadgets (eg remote-control air-con!) but I've never been in a car with sat-nav.
It was an unsubtle throwaway line really. Shame as it came right after Strax was berating the horse ("you have failed in your mission") which I actually found more amusing.
While I did think the boy sounded like a Sat Nav and that Thomas Thomas was an odd name the joke itself was lost on me as I didn't recall TomTom was a type of SatNav.

I only knew him as the piper's son. Thought he might be related to Jamie.

But apart from that, I did laugh. Never really enjoy Victorian episodes though.
I think i missed a few in jokes tbh but did get the Tegan one!
same here
I'm not alone!
The kid was giving Strax directions like a sat-nav would. His name is Thomas Thomas, Tom-Tom is a brand of sat-nav.

Ah. Never heard of Tom-Tom so that'll be why I didn't get it.

His name is Thomas Thomas...
Then Strax says I think you'll go far.
Oh!:) We don't have sat-nav.
Thank you.
That's what I thought too. I physically groaned aloud.
