Did anyone watch it?
Seriously, seriously good. Gripping and fantastically well written. Can't wait for the conclusion next week.
Those who missed it should watch the catch up (can't remember when it is or in which channel, but they do show it). Best Tennant episode for sure.

The conclusion will have to be outstanding to better either Girl In the Fireplace or The Impossible Planet/Satan Pit from last year. The 2006 conclusion aside, they're the two best episodes written so far.
and i really liked it!!
thought id make an effort seeing as i went to the studio and saw the sets and everything last week the tardis is awesome!!
i touched one of the knobs on it tho and it fell off woops
Of course, i think this 2 part story will go down as a very good one... up there with the Dalek and cybermen stories we have seen so far in the past.
Yup, i am very much in agreement with you on that! Infact i personally think he is my favourite Doctor with the exception of John Pertwee and maybe Tom Baker... maybe!
God, definitely.
And I much prefer Martha to Rose. Rose was just annoying
To be frank, whilst Davis vision for the show has been great his actual writing has been pretty weak, and very low-brow - a big disappointed given the quality of his work on Queer as Folk and the Second Coming...
I know that one of the few criticisms of the book was that it had no really effective bad guys, so the scarecrows addition clearly improved that.
Anyway main point is it was a superb episode and given it's an adaption of a complete story that a writer has had the time to improve it will hopefully keep up the same level of quality into the conclusion. We may have something to rival The Satan Pit after all - actually, sod that, we may end up with something to rival City of Death or Inferno...
A very profound and thought-provoking one. Specially when the woman tells him he is a coward because he would not change, while John Smith had the gulls to die.
Good to see the darker side of the Doctor as well when he deals with the Family.
Keep 'em coming
Frankly i think the darker side of the Doctor has been a theme of David Tennants incarnation. He told the cat people in New New York he was the highest power and has been refered to as a "God like! authority and so force.
But the way he punished the Family of Blood was truly awesome!
PS- Does anyone else prefer this Companion to Billy Piper, or is it just me?
Just one 'doctor-lite' episode then it's time for John Simm (but is he playing who everyone thinks he is?)
The new girl is much better. I like her. And her crazy mom
I actually didn't like the episode that much. They really could have condensed it into one. The first half was really drawn out and dull.
There's been some fanastic episodes over the years, but I'm really struggling to think of any which topped this...
The last couple of series I've disliked/got bored with some episodes. Have loved every single one so far.
The only episode since the series was relaunched that I can think I enjoyed nearly as much as the two-parter one with Eccleston based in WWII in which people with gas masks fused to their faces start appearing all over the place. IIRC the episode in wich Captain Jack makes his first appearance actually. Another well written episode in which CGI were secondary to the plot.
But still not as good as this one.
Look forward to next week's 'don't blink or you're dead' one... sounds interesting.
Sorry to all you Ecclestone fans, but i didnt like him as the Doctor that much.
I bought 'The Five Doctors' on DVD the other day. It was pretty good, if i bit dated looking.
I still have the copy I recorded off the TV when it was first shown, which has twenty minutes of Children in Need and a very young looking Terry Wogan at the start before it goes into a clip of William Hartnell...
My original video of Star Wars from the TV has adverts for the Atari TV game and Smash adverts :shocking:
Tonight's episode was outstanding.
Without exception, this series has *all* been outstanding. Best season so far IMO. Last season had some gems, but this year, they have all been fantastic. I hope they can keep this up.
Great episode and pretty much a masterclass in telling a scary story well, but still being just on the point of what's acceptabel for the audience.
Thought the dalek episodes were a bit weak this year, but other than that it's been a great series - and this episode was incredible.
Also, did anyone else LOVE the fact it was a Dr Who story in which it showed how, the Doctor has these adventures and impacts people's lives with out even knowing about it or realising it and so causes ordinary people to have their own adventures. It also got me thinking, how many people are caught up in aliens and demons and monster situations when the Doctor isn't even around at all?
Also, did anyone else see Dr Who Confidential on BBC3??? It was KICK ASS!
John Simm is the actor who played the main role in Life on Mars and in the past in shows like The Lakes, it's quite a coup getting him for Dr. Who (especially if he's playing who it looks like).
He's the guy hammering the table in the extended trailer of this half of the season (in a really, really chilling moment) - so looks like he might not appear until the very last episode.
