Yup.

Fairly local to myself tbh. (20 miles or so)

And it ends with them alluding to the fact that he gets blow jobs off a concrete slab.

If that's not a winning script I don't know what is.

Personally, I thought it was genius

Nicely done, made a lot of sense. Very tongue in cheek but I get the feeling the next few eps will be a bit darker.

Really odd, but really great with it!

Loved the reference of previous Who episodes!

I personally thought it was a bit poor, but I've had that feeling about most of the 'new' (last two seasons) Doctor Who anyway.

Fair enough, it needs to keep up with the times and try new things, but I just don't like the direction the BBC has taken things in. I just don't like the general style of writing or acting.

Blow-Job gag at the end was quite good, though.

Alan Rickman as The Master anyone?

Gets my vote!

My vote goes to Rick Wakeman

That was excellent. A so-so baddie concept and plot, but told in such a way it raised the material to one of the best so far. And the performances were all-round excellent, with the monster and Jackie being particularly impressive. The hero and narrator did well to make the episode his own. Even the Doctor and Rose, with their appearance at the end being particularly well done.

I really liked it. Most enjoyable episode of the series so far, I thought.

All except for the bit with the Doctor and Rose in, which was toss...

I admit the blow job gag was cool. Life as a slab though - idea taken from the chamber of rasilon maybe (The 5 Doctors reference).

Best line of a show - "Get a Shovel"

Best Scene of the show - "the doc and rose chasing the alien around passageways with buckets"

It was all a bit "Scooby Doo" for my liking...

Probably the biggest load of shite I'll watch this year.

Nah, there's another England game to go in the group stages, yet.
