Yeah, but... well, okay, this one makes a little more sense, if the lever could be operated remotely. BUT! Then you have the issue of if the lever deactivates all the robots, how would the one (formerly) covered in oil be able to operate in order to flick the switch?

Do we really have to go through this every time we have an episode set in the far future. They were robots on a ship so powerful it could travel between galaxies and punch holes in time. Is it really such a stretch to have the robot be able to clean itself? Can nobody just let the show just wash over them without analysing every little hole to death?

I've already said it was great!

Just, you know, not quite perfect, is all.

Sorry Purplechair. I read the Outpost Gallifrey forums after each episode and it tends to make me a bit punch drunk :)

Now thats more like it. They should get Moffat to write far more episodes than they do.

Is he a writer on Torchwood? I reckon he'd fit better in that, you can't do the sort of stuff he's really good at in the early evening timeslot.

And yes, Sophia Myles is Miss Fit. (She was in Underworld, amongst other things).

Excellent episode. Action and emotion and everything else you could want from some family entertainment. My fave of the series.

"Worst episode ever"

Believe it or not Purplechair someone used that one after tonight's episode and wasn't being ironic or joking. :)

The overnight ratings thread on a Sunday is generally a much happier place

Agreed, especially as it's mainly done for kids. :wink:

I used to watch Supermarionation stuff and never saw the strings, so let's keep the "There were plot holes!" and "That wouldn't work!" nay saying to a minimum, eh? :wink:

Really enjoyed the episode, and blubbed a bit at the end. :)

Oh, and Sophia Myles is PHWOAR! 8O :twisted: 8)

Edit:
A site about Sophia wrote: b. 18th March 1980, Notting Hill, London, UK

In 2005, dumped by partner of 18 months, the actor Charles Dance, who is 34 years her senior.
There's still hope for me with her then! :lol: :wink:

Some peoples comments on Outpost Gallifrey have to be seen to be believed! I thought that was an excellent episode, whereas some knobhead thinks it was 'the worst episode of the new Who'.

I mean, wtf?! 8O

I really liked that, this series is going from strength to strength.

One thing though, I am guessing he didn't go back for her in the Tardis because of the laws of time or something?
