Venice 1850, The Doctor takes Amy and Rory on a wedding Party. They land by a finishing School run by the beautiful Rosanna girls are being taken in, but something is happening to them, they have become Vampires.
Some fun in this one, the stripper music starts, and out of the cake pops....The Doctor, love it. Isabella's father donning an Amy and Rory tee shirt was also nice.
Seeing Helen McCrory I had enormous hopes for this one, one of my all time favourites, what was she to do with the part she was given? She did a good job, The show likes its big female villains, and she is more then a match for any of them, Gomez, Barber, Hawes, but the part was just so wrong for her. I think she was pregnant during this, why didn't she wait for a bigger part like the Rani or terrible Zodin, or something better then a FISH VAMPIRE!!! talk about too good for the part. I really did not like Francesco, Alex Price is a good actor, but the character just awful.
Best bit Rosanna's demise, she does a grand job, and her dig at The Doctor is a good one.
The scenery is lovely, the episode looks lavish, particularly the girls walking across Venice with their parasols, but...
It's just so off the mark, it feels like it belongs back in Series 2, not the disaster that Victory of the Daleks was but still it's not good, it's lacking something, maybe I just don't like the story. Should have worked, but it didn't 5/10
