Like you I wasn't sure if it held up as what was everyone running from?

But best episode so far.
I actually think her and the Doctor are fine when they are given something interesting to work with.

They just need to step up the writing and get some proper monsters involved. At least next week there's a creature even if it looks like the plant from The Mutations (Freakmaker).
Yes, four episodes in and we haven't had what i'd call a proper episode of Doctor Who where the TARDIS materialises somewhere and the Doctor and co right wrongs and defeat threats like the Wirrn, the Fendahl or the Malus.

Gotta love that pub though. You're more welcome at The Slaughtered Lamb ten minutes before last orders.

I'm longing for a Dalek invasion.
