I adore this piece and it proper gives me the shivers. Fear of the inability to communicate, especially in emergency situations, is a real issue with me.

Genuinely unnerving and very well done indeed.

I agree, very nicely done. The best in the two first episodes I think.

The eighties-ness is still blinding, but I'm getting used to it.

Now I'm off for a spot of dinosaur.

I loved this episode. The 80's effect has wore off now. It had a similar trait to some original episodes in the fact you wonder why this was happening to a thoroughly decent man. Was it an other worldly force or was he having a breakdown due to pressure of work? Superb
