Caliburn. Is it just me or are Andrew Hussie and whoever wrote this episode in cahoots?

No. Caliburn is an old Welsh name for a mythical sword, probably the origin of Excalibur. It's an entirely reasonable name for an English house.
I know. I was joking. I was actually on vacation in Wales and learned how to pronounce the sword's Welsh name, Caledfwlch. Hence the joke.
Call-Back or Continuity Nod or whatever... at any rate, I'm pretty sure that the Tardis' Cloister Bell went off when The Doctor got stuck in a pocket universe and nearly wrote himself out of existence.
Also, the Tardis definitely seemed to get more of a character in this episode. Anthropomorphism? Is that a word? It that *the* word?

That is indeed the appropriate word.
No matter what I say there is a 40% percent chance I'm not being serious, and if I sound like I'm not then I probably am.
Speaking of that, is not that one of the first times the TARDIS seems to be flying by herself ? Clara certainly was not piloting her when they went to the pocket dimension.

Too old for this
Am I the only one thinking that Alec Palmer talking about his motives and past to the Doctor could be seen as a Not So Different moment ?

Is he actually called "the professor" anywhere? The Doctor introduces him as Major Alec Palmer.
