Doesn't solidify until experienced? I've not heard that one.

Yeah. They used to get around that with the "fixed point in time" technobabble but they don't do that any more.
It would have been interesting in this episode if the Doctor had noted that she could have interfered here - except that doing so would delete Yaz.
Presumable every action she takes deletes somebody from the perspective of a time traveller.
I have to agree that, while it was an enjoyable episode, I'm not keen on the whole "witness of history" theme.
It also serves to highlight the often-handwaved question of when is it alright for the Doctor to intervene in events, past or future, on Earth or elsewhere? From the Doctor's viewpoint, isn't it all part of established history?

Yep, this was a better episode.
Though I'm curious: how did they cut the bubble wrap to pack the items without popping any of the bubbles and thus setting off the bombs?
