Always said those old gas masks were bloody creepy.

Shame they interrupted the fine ghost story with all the Buck Rogers cobblers, it completely broke the mood and stopped it surpassing "The Unquiet Dead" as best sofa-fodder to date.

The CGI Blitz was extremely impressive mind.

*shudders lots*

I've got to agree that this one definitely creeped me out.

Especially as my cats call me Mummy.

I really didn't find these last two episodes scary at all. They were just a little freaky, and maybe a bit wierd, but i wouldn't have said they were scary.

I really don't like the new American guy. Hope he doesn't stick around for too long.

The dancing was a bit wierd at the end too, lol. Wander if it was anything to do with Strictly Dance Fever

Sorry. According to imdb.com he's in 5 episodes.

I enjoyed the first part, but didn't really like the way it was rounded up in the second. I did enjoy the banter between Jack and the Doctor over the sonic screwdriver though

I laughed and laughed through the last episode. Great lines, touching moments, and a pretty good story (but maybe I was just in a good mood because I'd had naughty Eccleston dreams the night before). Definitely one of the best so far.

As for the captain: he didn't do much for me in the first episode, and some of his incompetence in the second was grating. But the man does use time-travel to have sex with aliens, and has an emergency protocol for martini, so I was won by the end

I just have to disagree with everything you've put! This is the first two episodes that actually got me appreciating the current doctor and now I'm interested to see where they go with it.

The banter was just hilarious, the story was quite gripping (perhaps a little Sapphire and Steel which used to freak me out) The sonic equipment envy was fantastic

Really looking forward to seeing the next few eps

"You ever seen anyone look at a screwdriver and say 'This screwdriver could do with being more sonic'"

well I think it's great - it is something that the family can sit down and watch together and the kids even know the theme tune

Here's hoping for the continuation of good dialogue and more of the Time agent because he is a whole lot better than "Todd"

OK, that's a way scarier image than any TV programme could create!

By the way, I loved the last two episodes of Dr Who.

An excellent episode. I loved the machismo between the Doctor and Captain Jack An episode with a HAPPY ENDING!!!!!! How rarely does that happen? I really didn't see the bit about Nancy being Jamie's mother coming. Did anyone guess? I loved the bit where Dr Constantine's patient's leg grew back and the Doctor and Rose dancing round the TARDIS after the Doctor remembered how to dance!! There's only 2 more episodes after the one on Saturday so them it's a case of waiting until November when the TARDIS shaped box set is out

absolutely loved this weeks episode. I had no idea Cardiff is so pretty. I want to go and have a closer look at that huge fountain thingy and the thing with the words on it.

I think this episode had a lot in it for the adults and very funny it was too.

Next week.... OMFG!!! Big Brother, robot Anne Robinson, Robot Trinny and Suzannah, and bloody Daleks!?!? Wow wow and wow!

Quite happy with this ep, tho a bit annoyed to see the Slitheen back -- wasn't too impressed with them the first time round, but RTD et al are clearly trying to link all of the episodes together, so not really unexpected.

As for the preview of next weeks episodes -- since some people endeavour, in spite of the BBC's best efforts, to avoid seeing the previews should they be considered spoilers until the next ep has aired?

I did wonder how long it would be till Russell got a gay storyline in doctor who somewhere.

Sexual tention a go-go

I missed the last 2 episodes before last nights one, so have no idea who the new American is on board the Tardis.

Anyway, I really liked most of this episode, but it was a bit of a cop out at the end with the bad Slitherine still trying to get one over on the Doctor, thus allowing the Doctor not to make the choice on whether to send her to her death, or let her go.

And as much as I like Christopher Eccleston, I am beginning to hate him when he ends every great scene with a cheezy grin.

last nights episode was the first one i really watched, and it was utterly cheesy!! going on a date with the alien woman...what was all that about!! i just don't think the programme is serious enough throughout, because of trying to appeal to kids! but you're meant to be scared of doctor who! thats what i grew up thinking, i was petrified for years! but from seeing that episode, it seems like the series has been a bit of a joke....am i wrong here?

Perhaps unfortunately (depending on your point of view), given the way this current season has been structured the episodes have very conciously and noticeably built on one another, and a lot of this episode was spent referencing earlier ones.

This, coupled with it being, style-wise, fairly unrepresentative of the series as a whole, does mean it may have been a difficult effective introduction to a season which is trying to be far "cleverer" than previous Dr Who was.

Perhaps this was in many regards a set-up for the next, final, two episodes -- bringing to a conclusion the last 10 episodes worth of introduction, intended to make sure all the players have their places, and that the audience is reminded of various things (like how jolly useless the good Dr is at making decissions -- he has trouble with the fate of a single professional criminal mass murderer, dread to think how much fretting he'd do if he had to wipe out a planet or an entire species).

And perhaps part 11 of 13 of any series isn't going to be the ideal starting point!

Didn't see it as being cheesy more as a way of him being forced to confront the result of his actions. What happens to those he leaves behind (the same applying to Rose and what happens with Mickey) and could the Doctor really deal with sitting down and eating with someone he was knoiwingly sending to their death. I rather liked the way that Margaret was given another chance.
