That's not too bad though :) I'm from the Netherlands and while I since a month live in London I have travelled to the UK and US for fandomy stuff.
It was a wire attached to the thing that was about to explode. I just described it all for someone else, I'll just copy paste it here :)
Alright so he had that *thing* in his hand that was about to explode. Any form of movement could set it off. He gave a wire attached to it ("so invisible in fact it's imaginary") to the little boy to hold very still. He then asked if the boy likes his hand and if he wants to keep it. The boy does so he had to hold it between his teeth instead and hold it tight, clenching his teeth. Then he asked the boy's name but before he could talk (because the invisible wire would fall out of his mouth) the Doctor stopped him. He also said the boy couldn't nod/shake his head (because any vibration could set it off) and of course the boy nearly nodded in agreement. He also said the boy couldn't giggle or the entire Royal Albert Hall would blow up. He then transmitted *something* but even watching it live twice I didn't know what exactly he did but in the end he of course saved the day. The only downside was people who had their mobile phones on would die and that ITV (competitive channel from BBC) was taken of the air XD The Doctor then told the boy he'd be fine, he might have a sore throat in the morning. He could also turn into a big bird but that rarely ever happened. He made sure the boy got a round of applause, asked his name and stated "To Ben, the boy that saved the Royal Albert Hall."
