Cynical but so very, very accurate. :(

Of course that could also just be because it was a bit shit ;)
True, it (and its sequel) was not as good as the first three episodes. The should use the Daleks more sparingly so you are thrilled when they reappear instead of going "oh no not them again". The story was uninteresting as well, it was lazily written probably just because they thought that the Daleks would hold everyones attention. And they also reused the pig man from Aliens in London.

Hope we get more of the first three episodes.

I was just watching Doctor Who Confidential and one of the wideshots of the skyline showed the Twin Towers. It was obviously stock footage. Bit sloppy IMHO. :?

Are you sure about that?

I watched it on Saturday and the short version tonight and didn't see the WTC in any of the shots. :?

Which one was it (which position was the shot taken from)?

They may have used stock footage for the Confidential flying establishing shots of New York, not for the static shots they filmed for the episodes.

If that episode didn't chase the kids behind the sofa, I don't know what will...

It will sure be one cool model in HGFB's collection :wink:

And yes, the trailer for the next episode was pretty sweet :D

Indeed...That was way scarier than the Daleks..

And who was the mysterious stranger?

Sarge?

No.

Rosemary?, the telephone operator?

No.

Penry?, the mild mannered janitor?

Could be!
