Did Gyre And Gimble In The Suck

Asquith begins the presentation all about the "porcine occupant" of the UFO, and the Doctor interrupts, crazily pacing around the room, and takes over immediately: "Now, the really interesting bit happened three days ago, see, filed away under every other business." Everybody stares, but nobody really responds or reacts, because I guess it's the Doctor and he can do stuff like that. "The North Sea: the satellite detected a signal, a little blip of radiation at one hundred fathoms like there was something down there, you were just about to investigate -- and the next thing you know, this happens: spaceships, pigs. Massive diversion. From what?"

Harriet takes Rose to the Cabinet Room to show her the Transportation Liaison skin suit. She immediately starts to cry. Rose assures her that she believes her, and then starts looking about the Cabinet Room for alien technology that they can somehow use against the farting aliens. Instead, she finds the corpse of the PM. Of course, right then Indra enters, wearing a lovely purple-striped tie, and starts bitching Harriet out for sneaking into the Cabinet Room uninvited...until he spots the body of the Prime Minister.

The Doctor is still lecturing the experts, Asquith and Green -- whirling about and talking crazily: "If aliens fake an alien crash and an alien pilot, what do they get?" He stands stock still, lightbulb over the head, framed by Asquith and Green over each shoulder like farting devils: "Us. They get us. It's not a diversion, it's a trap."

MI-5 Margaret Blaine walks in on Indra, Rose, and Harriet, and moans stupidly: "Has someone been naughty?" She's so freaking creepy. She shuts the door behind her, and they all look around at each other warily.

Jackie goes to her kitchen, still yell-talking with the cop: "It was bigger on the inside, I don't know! What do I know about spaceships?" The cop watches Jackie through the kitchen hatch we saw earlier, that Mickey closed, and is creepier and creepier: "That's what worries me. You see, this man is classified as 'trouble,' which means that anyone associated with him is trouble. And that's my job." He removes his hat to reveal a zipper across his forehead. An actual zipper, I didn't notice that so clearly at the beginning because I was too busy not turning off my TV due to the farting. "Eliminating trouble." He slowly unzips, lighting up the room.

Indra is in the "Denial" stage of being eaten by farting aliens: "That's impossible. He left this afternoon. The Prime Minister left Downing Street, he was driven away!" MI-5 Margaret -- who is clearly an alien -- spells it out for him all scary: "And who told you that? Hmm?" She approaches the terrified and confused Indra, stroking the bangs off her forehead.
