To be honest, I think this discussion's a bit superfluous in any case. The Doctor talks to himself all the time. Let's just say the line in question was said to no-one but himself. That wouldn't mean anything. Especially since the Doctor's been alone so many times that he considers himself to be his best friend haha. Plus, when in the TARDIS, he's never truly alone.

I don't quite understand what the problem is here. It doesn't really matter how the story was sold or broadcast overseas. It's how it was broadcast for the first time in the UK. To my knowledge, there was no irregular pause between episodes. It's gotten to a point when conversations are opened up about anything haha. Next it'll be "the Doctor sniffed loudly, should we still consider it invalid?".
