    Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?

    This is my favourite episode yet.

    Firstly, it doesn't actually entail an actual moment in time so the writers and actors have more scope for the roles.

    Secondly, as a 50 something, I remember 1983 very well indeed so I remember the styles and the music of the day so I can nitpick at songs and TV shows that hadn't been in existence at thd time the story is set but nostalgia allows this viewer to over look these errors.

    It is a good story to follow and feels as though all the stops were pulled out with the presentation of this story.

    It gives me hope for the remainder of the series but I am sure it will revert to famous dates, faces and places.

    • Trivia
      The hotel room Claire Gilliam is staying in is number 237. Room 237 is the notorious haunted room in The Shining (1980). An allusion to room 237 was made in at least one other show by Eric Kripke - Supernatural (2005) episode 1x18, "Something Wicked (2006)".
    • Goofs
      This story is named "Karma Chameleon". The Culture Club song by that name wasn't released until September 1983, 6 months after the setting of this story.
