Due to filming laws when it comes to infants, that baby will have been played by like a dozen different kids at least. This scene alone would have required several different babies in order to keep a reasonable filming schedule. Luckily babies that young are very hard to tell apart so long as their skin tone is the same, so you can have multiple kids play the same baby without an audience noticing.

One thing they NAILED in that season, is The Doctor's passion for observing life forms. In that clip, he exclaims this "amazing" in awe of the goblins as a species (knot language, the taste for music and thus, art), and needs to be reminded by ruby that this is a situation where a baby is gonna die, to act against it.

It's odd how the goblings are singing about eating the baby themselves, but appear to intend to feed her wholesale to the king right after. Implying that either goblins share digestive system somehow, or the King was going to feed them mother bird style.

@@aussiefurbymogwaifan6621 It's credited to the composer, Murray Gold, but I agree that the singer and all musicians should be credited too. Unfortunately in this digital age, it's very difficult to find out exactly who is involved in creating a song. It would be so easy to add to the KZread description, or have pop ups on streaming and download sites, but for some reason the industry is set up to ignore a lot of people who contribute. (They will all get royalties, or would have agreed to one-off payments, but the point still stands)

I knew Doctor Who was changing but a goblin musical number about eating a baby was not even close to what i expected 😂

Goblins: We're eating a baby. 15th Doctor: - leans against the wall holding out a bag of jelly babies - Trade you? Jelly baby? I SWEAR, IF THERE'S NO 4TH DOCTOR/WOULD YOU LIKE A JELLY BABY REFERENCE, I'M SLAPPING HANDS.

The invoking of superstition at the edge of the universe opened a rift that allowed myth and fantasy to leak in. Plus the Toymaker made a jigsaw of the Doctor's history implying all previous canon is meaningless because any plot holes can be explained away by "the Toymaker messed it up". Personally I hate both ideas with a passion. RTD has given himself the perfect excuse to write the most ridiculous stories and explain it all away as 'magic'. He's never been great at imaginative science fiction and now he doesn't even have to try. People are loving this but having been a fan since Pertwee's days I find it heartbreaking that the show has descended to a level where singing and dancing goblins are considered a great idea. I'll watch Labyrinth if I'm in the mood for that. I'm sure Disney will just love it, though. Look what they did to Star Wars...
