   I disagree. I think it was there to tell the audience "we want you to   
   believe this is a really big thing so when we wriggle out of it you'll   
   think it was more important than just blowing up a load of Daleks".   
      
   Followed by the production team telling each other "it's the 50th   
   anniversary in a couple of years, how are we going to top this..?
