*waves hullo to whiterose too* Great to see that like lucinda, you are posting again--please, feel free to make this a ongoing trend! 
What celia is far too quiet and self-effacing to mention--though of course I have no such compunction about doing so--is that Mr. M. himself thanked her for posting this at Twitter, saying that it made him laugh so much...earning her, oh, just about a million fangirl points in the process.
Well-done, my dear.
Now that I actually have my very own copy of DW: The Complete Specials, however, I am sorry to report there are no commentaries whatsoever on any of the specials except 'The End of Time.'
Nonetheless, I loved getting to see the complete Confidential for this episode, and especially enjoyed the historical overview on the Cybermen, because yes, I just am that much of a ginormous Whogeek. (Feel free to have a good laugh at what they originally looked like when they debuted in the First Doctor's era--unlike the Daleks, they've had a pretty substantial redesign since then--as this once more proved what I've said to Nu Hu fans about how much of the charm of the Old Hu era was its complete and utter naffness.)

The Cyberman plot didn't really interest me, and there were some puzzling bits. How did Miss Hartigan get involved with them anyway, and why did they let her live? Why use kids for labour? Wouldn't adults be the better choice? As for Tennant, I'm trying to decide if he's a good actor. 
He has a tendency to move his face a lot and speak with exaggerated vocal mannerisms. When he lets himself be still, he can be very subtle and compelling.
