Ah, that was pleasant to read regarding my favourite dramatisation of the character! I think smirk is the emotional/intellectual stance of choice for a lot of protagonists these days. That approach and almost only that approach.
I didn't put anything in this story, consciously anyway, to connect it to Experiments, although I don't think it would be hard to add a sentence or even a phrase here and there to reference that extra layer of things. This is probably because my mind is always ready to go in that direction and I think my stories are usually situated near the edge.
Possibly what I thought was incompatible, back in the winter when I wrote Milk was that I referred to a series three development with Redbeard. Since Redbeard was in the past, he would have been there even during series one and two, but we just hadn't heard of him (if, indeed, Redbeard is a dog - I've decided he was). So...I suppose I could take that detail from series three without taking any of the rest of it, since I had already created my own version of the hiatus, the return and Mary. Hmmm. Hmmm.
