It seems that after letting a 9-year old come up with the monster for last week, they went all the way and let a 9-year oold write the script this week.

Please don't make me watch it again. Ever.

2/10.

Lazy scriptwriting IMO.

Rubbish.

Every TV series has filler episodes, some do it really well, others don't. At least last week they tried something a bit different...

I thought them deciding to do the whole 'a storm is coming' ending took away from what I though was a pretty decent episode.

Some corny lines in it, and it's unlikey Huw Edwards would still be a lowly News 24 anchor 6 years from now, but I liked the whole play on loneliness.

Next weeks does look pretty bloomin fantastic though.

T'was alright.

You've taken a caancil axe, from a caancil van and you're digging up a caancil road.

I'm reporting you to the caancil!

Technically it's a grey area due to an unknown portion of the Doctor's genetic material coming from the being known as the "Other". Susan was the Other's granddaughter, not the Doctors.

Where can I find a torrent of the McGann movie?

Or a usenet group would be good.

It's out on DVD, and probably quite cheap by now.

Worth it just for the utterly dire version of the Who theme it has

Reasonably good eppisode.

It really was just a load of clichÃ©s strung together, but it was fun and logicaly consistant, so overall a thumbs-up imo.

Agree.

1/10 from me. Mawkish, shallow, pointless, and essentially a 45-minute episode of Brookside-meets-Tales-of-The-Unexpected prior to the trailer for next week. Which looks aces.

Really desperately trying to find something redeeming here. Can't do it, which depresses me 'cos I can usually find -something- in the weaker episodes.

Meh.
