Season 11, Episode 5
6/10
Lots of wasted opportunities, there were decent elements.

It was better then last week's, but perhaps not the standard of the first few. I just know I'm going to be reading comments about the show being so politically correct beyond belief, and there is definitely something to that, the least said about the pregnant man the better, I really didn't think that concept did the show no favours at all.

The story was pretty good, I love the idea of a creature that could eat anything without being harmed, that was clever. Production values were decent, I wouldn't have said the best sets to date, but the music was great.

I liked the character of Astos, a shame he didn't last long, I thought he was the most interesting character. I was really pleased to see Suzanne Packer cast, but she didn't really get the best deal, even if she did get her Wii training in.

Five weeks in, I am enjoying the series overall, but as I predicted beforehand, I am craving something from the show's past, I don't mean Daleks or Cybermen, something more obscure, maybe from the sixties or seventies, just a sweetener for the long term fans.

Not classic, but at least it was sci-fi, and the pting was cute. Does this deserve to be rated as the bottom but one episode (Only one above Orphan 55,) I don't think so, I prefer it to some of them.

It was OK. 6/10
