I haven't sat down and done any timings, but it feels as if the first three stories have all effectively wrapped-up around the 30 minute mark and that the final 10 minutes or so are wasted on "closure", credits and previews.

Anyone else noticed this? Just feels a bit odd.

TEH had to have plenty of things happening after the alien threat was scared off, so that's forgiveable. TBB didn't feel like it had a particularly long dénouement to me, but then I also haven't done timings.

TBB was a relatively short episode, with the bolt on of Amy's discussion with the Doctor at and then in the TARDIS, and the call from Churchill kicking in I think at around 38 minutes.

I think VOTD felt like it was concluded as soon as the new Daleks sailed off, which was I think just after the half-hour mark.

I'm guessing things will change with the next two episodes though.
