Going against the grain ( pun intended ) I really liked this episode! It was something very different, off the wall and unfolded like some kind of nightmare. And what a wonderfully nightmarish image at the end to send the kiddies to sleep!
I agree that Mark Gatiss' stuff polarises opinion, but personally I've enjoyed all of his stories , apart from Victory Of The ( Tellytubbies ) Daleks. I hope he continues to write for the programme.
I agree some new writers should be given a chance though. However, being a famous writer doesn't automatically mean you will 'get' what Who is all about. Frankie Boyce's contribution last year was absolute bollocks.
