I reckon that was a great episode! Catherine Tate was tremendous and unfortunately showed Billie Piper up. And I'm still loving Donna's family, especially Bernard Cribbins, who is just simply wonderful. My wife reckons this was one of the best ever (up there with Buffy, Angel and BSG at it's best). I wouldn't go that far, but it sure was good. Nice how series 1 elements like the coming of the Darkness and Bad Wolf comes back to make the RTD era seem complete - loving it!

So not a duff episode in this series yet and with that fan-licious trailer for episode 12 (yay, more Gwen and Torchwood and Sarah Jane and Luke), Daleks, Bad Wolf, Dalek saucers et al., this looks like it won't be rubbish at all this series. The SFX preview for Ep 12 confirms this (see sfx.co.uk). So bound to be voted best series yet. Good to see RTD is leaving a high bar for the Moff to try to jump over!

: That was a very different sort of episode. And maybe a bit
: of a continuity nightmare (the Sarah Jane Adventures
: occurring before Smith and Jones rather than, as I had
: always thought, after); but it was great to see all those
: 'flashbacks' to previous stories. (But it was odd that
: they didn't include a flashback to Fires of Pompeii to
: remind everyone about there being something on Donna's
: back.)
:
: But OMG - ep 12 looks brilliant! Everyone's in it - Jack,
: Gwen and Ianto, Sarah and Luke, Judoon, Daleks,
: spaceships, UNIT, the kitchen sink. I can't wait.
