Susan, you do realise that's a pic of James Buckley from The Inbetweeners and not Blake Harrison.

Thanks for the heads-up

That's the problem when you have never watched the show and have no idea who the characters are!

Bloody internet image search!!

Oh well, hopefully it's been correctly amended now

Tegan (Janet Fielding) possessed by the Mara during Kinda (1982)

Thought 73 Yards was a very enjoyable watch. Kinda a mix of folk horror that veered off into Turn Left and The Sound of Drums territory.

I'm not sure it stands up to much scrutiny but an entertaining 45 mins all told.

Yeah, despite finding the first two episodes annoying and underwhelming I have continued watching.

Last weeks was an improvement but became a bit schmaltzy at times.

This one was pretty gripping and interesting for the most part, I was reminded of the same stuff as you and also it was heavily indebted to It Follows, wondered if Ruby had an STD.

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.

Yeah the build up and pub scenes were really effective.
