As an adventure I thought it was a pretty decent story, loved the Thames setting, loved the almost early classic series vibe about it, the whole linking random historical events to the show, and given a sci-fi explanation. The visuals were great, really impressive, zany in a way, the circus, the elephant, stalls etc. I love the concept of something menacing lurking under The Thames.
Bill's reality check was the highlight of the show, I thought that conversation she had with The Doctor was fantastically well done, she's showing an emotional presence that hasn't existed in a companion I'd argue since Donna, Bill is truly proving to be the real deal.
I wasn't blown away by the character of Lord Sutcliffe, I am a fan of Nicholas Burns, the character wasn't given any time to make any sort of impact. Nicholas Burns is about as villainous as a Labrador puppy.
I loved the ending, I desperately want to know what exactly is behind the doors, could it be the Mondasian Cybermen?
Next week's looks a cracker.
