To be fair you, and me and others moaned when Chibnall never seemed to hype the show!

Twenty years and fandom still gets the vapors when someone whose job is to hype the show says something to hype the show.

Is anyone getting hyped by that statement? Does anyone believe anyone's jaws dropped when he described the episode to them?

If I had one episode left to save the series, I might start thinking about doing things differently rather than pretending it's business as usual, but that's just me.

Yes, it's hyperbole and the episode itself likely won't be as Earth shattering as he's making it out to seem. But is anyone seriously surprised RTD, a man known for over the top hyperbole is using over the top hyperbole to describe a show he's working on?

Not at all. I've just learned not to believe anything he says. Likewise Moffat.
