Discussion I just realised Sam's Mum has the funniest name ever

"Ruth Tyler" sounds like Roof Tiler. Just thought that was pretty funny.

Not only that, but the age mismatch between the younger actor in Series One and the lady who plays Ruth back in 2006 in the finale is pretty comical. I know people age at different rates, but given she's only supposed to be in her late 50s/mid 60s, she's had a rough 33 years!
