I've listened a couple of times and can't make out what Amy said as to the name of the closest city to Leadworth. Can anyone provide the name?

Glouchester I think

Gloucester according to the subtitles.



edit. Didn't another famous doctor once go to Gloucester?

Ah. Thank you. I could have sworn it ended with "-ton." The hearing aid must need new batteries.

Gloucester, half an hour away.

Indeed, but I think he stepped on those puddle aliens right up to his muddle

Doctor Foster
Went to Gloucester
In a shower of rain.
He stepped in a puddle
Right up to his middle
And never went there again!


Puddles, Ponds and Pools ...

Is it muddle or middle.

Gonna have to go missing large chunks of 24

Yeah, the incidental music nearly drowned it out - but on second viewing it was Gloucester that was 30 minutes away.

Got the rhyme from here...

http://www.rhymes.org.uk/doctor_foster.htm

which says middle.

BUT had anyone actually been to Gloucester?

Yes, David Tennant's Doctor: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage...cle1076836.ece for the Christmas 2008 Special, The Next Doctor.

And Harry Potter: http://www.bbc.co.uk/gloucestershire...ore_info.shtml

It's not a bad place, I've lived here all my life!
