Let's Kill Hitler

BBC Summary: In the desperate search for Melody Pond, the TARDIS crash lands in Thirties Berlin, as the time-travelling drama returns for the second half of the series shown earlier in the year. The Doctor comes face to face with the greatest war criminal in the Universe. And Hitler.

TUNE OF THE DAY #41

Rococo - Arcade Fire

Wow. I was lucky enough to be able to attend Arcade Fire's incredible gig last night in the M.E.N. Arena in Manchester! This was definitely one of my favourite songs of the night and has been stuck in my head all day. Enjoy!
