Taken together with last week's episode, this 2-part Doctor Who story is excellent. The season's plot arch is definitely driven forward. The dialog in this episode is superbly written by Steven Moffat. There is quite a lot of suspense and one can easily see why the British often talk about their shared childhood memories of hiding behind the sofa during Doctor Who. It's wonderfully scary (though NOT at all gory) AND completely delightful. If you've ever enjoyed Doctor Who, odds are you'll absolutely love this. Episodes like this are why Doctor Who is considered to be the best series on television by so many people around the world.
