Hmm. A London car with a Cymraeg license plate... I've been waiting for that.

Sod off. I really enjoyed it.

I particularly liked the way that they didn't wuss out and have the Doctor reply to Rose (he's an alien, after all - the chances of him saying what at least 90% of the audience wanted is precisely zero).

I also liked the escape act pulled off by someone, about 10 minutes from the end. Blink and you miss it.

That's the second companion he's loved AFAIR

Aren't the Daleks bitchy?

11/10.

Except the last 20 seconds.

But aside from that: aces, start-to-finish. Looking forward to the S2 boxset and the Christmas special.

Wonder if the escaping Dalek is the one that Van Statten acquires for his collection?

Fucking hell, what an amazing episode, and one Dalek survives! (The Black one!)

Not too keen on Catherine Tate being in the xmas special, but there is 6 months to worry about that one.

20/10 for me

Nope. That one was gold and fell through time during the time war. The black one never fought in it.

Pity because that would tie in well

But leave a closed loop with no possibility of a Dalek suddenly turning up around the end of season 3...

Yup, really enjoyed that.

The quality brought into sharp focus cos I'd just finished watching Superman Returns before and that's just shallow and vacuous and 1 hour too long - but that's for another thread I guess

One big problem with it AFAIAC: how the hell did Pete Tyler know to pop through at precisely that moment in order to catch Rose?

(Also the music afterwards was particularly crap; but I can forgive that on the basis that it's not a big gaping plot hole.)

Crossed my mind, but nope: wrong colour. Also irritating in that it somehow wasn't being sucked in along with the rest of them when it did that. Again, though, a minor annoyance as it wasn't a gaping plot hole.
