Thats more like it.

I liked this episode, firstly it was filmed in Gloucester which is a few miles up the road from where I live.

The story began well, with the return of those lovable rogues the Judoon. I liked the banter between the Doctor and the judoon. I won't delve too deeply into the plot, because I don't want to spoil it for those who haven't seen it. There some excellent twists to this story, for the first time in many episodes, I couldn't stop watching.

I wonder what will happen next?
