Steven Moffat you are a truly amazing writer It dosen't show at all.
So Lynda and Kenny became childhood friends by acident it was a great
idea. it is amazing how much of how you view things is interpretated
by things that might have no conncetion. We interpretate everthing
Lynda and Kenny do in the first series in terms of their long time
firendship when in fact it wasn't there.

The In the Picture scene was also great, It really conected it to Love
and War - Like they were part one and two.
