I don't know that I'm real keen on the Doctor's solution to the ATMOS gas. If he ignited something that comprised 66% of the Earth's atmosphere wouldn't it have any number of fire-related consequences, not least of which would be wildfires in the Western US the likes of which has never been seen, not to mention the damage to flying aircraft nor other unintended consequences of super-heating the atmostphere. No, instead "magic" happens and all of the clone feed is converted to breathable air and everyone (but Gramps) is fine? Other than this bit, I thought it was a wonderful episode, but I feel like they wrote themselves into a corner a bit by letting the ATMOS density climb too high and then hoping no one calls them on the flaming skies stuff... Loved seeing an old friend again too, if only for half a second!

Just don't make a habit of it. :D
