Though the music at the start for the monks on wires fight was pretty good..
Pity about the fight though - predictable and incredibly cheesy. With the monks in red it also made me think of the BBC's start of programme idents ...........
Besides that though a vast improvement on last weeks' awful episode and overall pretty enjoyable.

To sort out the overloud music, a suggestion that I saw on the 'net was to turn the volume right down for your left and right speakers (rear too if you have them) so that the sound comes only from the centre speaker. Tried it tonight and it really does help a fair bit.

True, and of course it shouldn't be necessary, but if it had been mixed properly in the first place then people wouldn't be having problems.
(Well, I presume it's broadcast in 5.1 - I only have a Pro Logic system for the time being...)
Apparently it is indeed 5.1

I do wonder what people are doing to make the music so loud, it never seems to get in the way of the dialogue for me. I take it you've calibrated your surround sound system with it's built in white noise feature? Centre speakers are usually rather small, and rarely cope with the amount of sound a modern surround mix will throw at them. As such you usually either need to turn down your left and right to lowered levels anyway, regardless of Doctor Who, or turn up the center levels.
Still, I don't find the music that annoying so perhaps it is partly perception too

Simple, silly fun.
Although, if:
Doc and Rose fall into the 23rd century where the Torchwood Institude recognise him and try to kill him
then I just give up.

I rather enjoyed that, good payoff with the telescope too. Shocking outfit Billie/Rose was wearing, though.
K-9 and Sarah-Jane next week!

Still a big 'Meh' from me.
Nothing is worth the effort you put into it.
