    Terrible

    What was that. Can kids ever write a good story. Im not going to say this to be rude but you did a terrible job doing this. Dont be like your are Chris Chibnalls kids again im not trying to be rude. Again this is a terrible short.

    Pointless

    As I am watching Dr.Who, I decided to watch specials to the show too. There are good and not bad episodes. But this one is pointless. I know, it was done by children, but I will critic it anyway. We know that in 2012 Olympics the one who put fire in the Olympic torch was the 10th Doctor. He was the last torchbearer. So how would this line up with events in Fear Her? There were 2 Doctors during the Olympics? You might say, those kids havent seen that episode, go easy on them. Ok. But the plot of this actual episode is still rubish.

    Written by kids -- and it shows!

    Matt Smith and Karen Gillan as the 11th Doctor and Amy Pomd are always superb. And this is no exception. I love the Weeping Angels as well. So you'd think this would be good. You'd be wrong. The script was written by kids and it shows.

    Amy believes that she's contractually obligated to receive one adventure per week so the Doctor takes her the 2012 Olympics. Last seen in Fear Her. That should be your first warning. Then the torchbearer enters the TARDIS (not the 10th Doctor because sod continuity) followed by the angel (because sod a whole stadium of observers). Through some magical TARDISey stuff the Doctor destroys the angel and the runner rewards him for being "good as gold" by giving him a gold medal. Even though the games haven't started yet. Hmm.

    I don't want to be mean to the kids who wrote it but surely they could've done better than this?
