Which of us when we were students didn't imagine living in quality surroundings, in a massive house with lots of space and grandeur, so when Bill and her friends are offered such a place on the cheap, there must be a catch, mustn't there?
I've forever been a fan of horror, and the darker element in Who always works so well, it feels like an age since we last had a dark episode, the stuff of nightmares, and Knock Knock very much fitted the bill. A great story, well delivered, with some fine performances, but those special effects were among the best I've ever seen on the show, reminded me of Silent Hill. The walls coming alive, the wooden daughter etc, very visual.
A few references to Ghostlight, the insects, the haunted house, the insects, even the 'up the wooden hills,' a better haunted house story then Hide from a few years back.
My love of Dr Who is matched by my love of Agatha Christie, so the joy I felt in learning that the great David Suchet was to appear, I thought he did a particularly fine job, he made his part sinister without going over the top, his speaking voice added to the character.
I must admit my heart sank a little when Bill questioned The Doctor on regeneration, his look......
Naturally the fan world is agog with curiosity as to what or who is imprisoned in that vault. Nice to see there's a thread linking the episodes, but nothing too deep.
I rather enjoyed this. 9/10
