Synopsis 

The Inforarium - the greatest source of illicit information in recorded history - is compromised as the Doctor continues his quest to erase himself from history. 

Verdict

The Inforarium was a great little minisode and I thought it was good in providing us an example of how the Doctor was attempting to erase himself from history after The Wedding of River Song. The way he achieved remained a mystery, as per usual with the Eleventh Doctor, but his methods were terrific. Using a hologram to communicate with a controller of the Inforarium was fantastic and similarly to Blink, the Doctor predicted what was being said. (No script this time though). The Doctor's anger at the Inforarium was brilliant after it sold information to the Daleks, Cybermen and Sontarans. The humour of the climax was excellent and as my opening quote suggests, the Doctor learns a trick or two from those he defeats. And the hologram reappeared and the Inforarium had no idea who he was. It seemed an endless circle was about to occur...
