Well, that REALLY buggers up continuity, doesn't it? No Dalek invasions in the early 21st century, possibly no Torchwood (since Winston seems to be on good terms with the Doctor), and I suspect a robotic friend of the family in our heroine's past.

Loved it all, apart from the 2-minute spacedrive, but they've turned the silliness dial up to 11.

I think the "why don't you remember the Daleks?" and the cracks in the Universe are a "yes, continuity is buggered - time travel does that if you aren't very careful" sign.

Didn't the Doctor meet a young Winston Churchill in South Africa in one of the (not necessarily TV-canon) books?

Don't know. What I have decided, unfortunately, on reflection, is that I really hate the My Little Daleks. They just aren't frightening.

Oh good grief... No, I really can't see writing that somehow.

I'm wondering if in the end the cracks are the Doctor's fault for flying through spacetime too much, like high warp traffic screwing up subspace in Star Trek TNG.

Is he flying any more than he has in the past (apart from the "Time Lords have banned him from leaving Earth" series)?

No (actually less so, most of the last few seasons were set on Earth) but he's been doing it for almost 50 years.
