Just The Kandy Man and the utterly horrible acting I think. Apart from that it was decent.

I'd sooner they just put the first 20 mins of Euro-politico on BBC2 then switch over - if they can change channels with Tennis and Snooker then why not with Euro-politico?
Firstly, Eurovision is excellent.

OK, watched 'Girl in the Fireplace' last night.

1. 18th century France is not a period I have much interest in.
2. The trailers made it look like it was going to be another 'monster of the week' story.
3. It had to fill the shoes of the SJS episode.
4. The omens were good for another 'meh' episode.

5. It rocked.
6. No, really. I mean ROCKED.
7. Best episode of the series so far, by far. Well up there with the best of season 1. Easily a 9/10 for me, borderline 10/10.
8. Some great lines, some fine acting by Tennant and Piper (her face, after he rides through the mirror: shock, abandonment, fear, despair, realisation of her place in his world).
9. The 'silly cliche', but oddly moving, end sequence, as the ships' name rolls into view and you 'get' why the droids were doing what they're doing.
10. No, fuckit, this was a 10/10. I'm off to watch it again. Did I mention it rocked?

That wasn't Ms Piper, that was Ms Pompadour. :)

Best you watch it again. :wink:

No no. Rose, standing in the ship, looking at the C51-side of the mirror after The Doctor has gone through. Mickey, in the background, burbling about The Doctor having gone, what do we do now, can we fly the TARDIS. Rose, just standing there, dumbstruck. Hint of a tear rolling down her face.

It was good.
Great even.

But not 10/10

Where do you put "Dalek" if that was 10/10?

Are we only allowed 1 10/10 per show or something?

Mentalist. It was WAY better than "Dalek" (which was still good), and almost up there with "Father's Day" and Moffat's previous effort, the "Empty Child" two-parter in series 1. They should just get him to write it all...

Aah, right. :)

That bit went by quick and I was concentrating on Ms Myles. :twisted: 8)

Aye, there are a few 10/10's from season 1. 'Dalek', definitely. 'Empty Child/Doctor Dances', also definitely. And 'Parting of the Ways'. I liked 'Fathers Day' a lot, but it's only a 9 for me because of the jarring 'time monster' element, which (IMHO) spoilt a good paradox storyline.

Anyway, turns out the kids missed last weeks' episode, so as I have them this weekend, we're about to get pizza delivered and watch it again. ;)
