lazarus said:I was surprisingly not very impressed with The Idiot's Lantern last week, seeing as how it was written by the same guy who gave us the first truly great New Who episide in The Unquiet Dead. It wasn't bad, mind you, but just not anything fantastic.
I actually really enjoyed that episode. I thought they'd got the timing right for once. I agree with you that most of the one parter episodes could do with that extra 20 minutes as they feel a little rushed but with that episode I felt they'd got the pace spot on. Plus I thought Maureen Lipman was fantastic. Besides any episode that educates people on the correct way to hang a union flag is a winner in my eyes
On another note- I remember reading somewhere of a fan complaining that the Tardis never goes to other planets anymore, it's always set on Earth. And I think he's got a point. Nearly all episodes of the current series have been set on Earth, even last week's non Earth episode had humans in it!
