Awesome. Just absolutely fucking awesome. I was laughing out loud at every masterful kids-behind-the-sofa moment. And the ending was the icing on the cake. "DON'T BLINK!" Forget stepping on the cracks in the pavement, kids will not be blinking at statues now.
So much for my theory that all episodes without a lot of the Doctor in are shit .
Right, stayed out of this thread as I missed it at the weekend, and have only just watched it tonight.
That was, quite possibly, the single most fucking awesome episode of Doctor Who I've seen since ... since I was 5.
It actually made me jump. And swear, out loud, in a way I probably didn't when I was 5, but would have if I'd known how.
It made me think, and gave me chills, and gave me damp eyes, and had me on the edge of my seat from almost 2 minutes in until the chilling, horrible, wonderful end.
I'm 39, and I might actually have nightmares tonight.
Fucking scary! I've been thinking about it a lot since Saturday, and those fractions of seconds of blackness before the statues moved are getting even more disturbing. What a great idea.
heh - a friend in the office reckoned he got no sleep last night because his girlfriend was so jumpy after watching this. That is brilliant, this episode was the best one in 3 series easily.
I have been spooked this afternoon by the statues on Queen St, being as they are in the end montage from that ep. For the first time in a long time, having a j in my garden at night sees me jumping at the little noises you get. Excellent stuff.

Captain Jack from Doctor Who is a little more light-hearted, because he’s back where he wants to be. Although he loves the Torchwood team, one of his main objectives over the past couple of years has been to find the Doctor, to figure out why Jack is the way he is. Now he's there, he can let the Doctor take the responsibility for everything and he can sit in the background a bit."
The BBC have just posted the biggest spoiler for Doctor Who ever. I read it and instantly wet my knickers in fanboy excitement. It's for the last episode and please don't read it if you in anyway shape or form dislike spoilers. This one will do a good job of ruining it for you.
Oh and avoid all forms of media for the next couple of weeks. This one's a doozy.
