It may well have done better although maybe the whole idea was too similar to Vengeance on Varos? Not exactly the same of course, but a similar vibe as far as the broadcasting goes. Of the 2 I definitely prefer Vengeance.<br /><br />Adam was mostly annoying so his mother freaking about his surgery was amusing to me. <br /><br />I still don't approve of the Doctor having any kind of romantic entanglement with companions. I'm not saying no kind of romance of drama at all, but it always feels weird.<br /><br />Some interesting ideas let down by a rather boring execution with this one.Morellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08852528242739450099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-85012380346928638742009-05-18T09:34:00.000-04:002009-05-18T09:34:00.000-04:00My least favourite episode of the series.

There was some good ideas and a good guest appearance from Simon Pegg but something about it just didn't gel for me.<br /><br />Adam left as quickly as he came. Given that Rose screws up worse in the next episode, I just think the Do ctor was latching on excuses to get rid of him.shawnlunn2002https://www.blogger.com/profile/14242367250345323622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-46498871227367793532009-05-18T05:17:00.000-04:002009-05-18T05:17:00.000-04:00Seems they repeated this theme of 'well known Brit...Seems they repeated this theme of 'well known British comedy actor in poorly-conceived filler episode' more than once, what with the Peter Kay one next season..Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653418159607995090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-48003296748150885562009-05-17T19:43:00.000-04:002009-05-17T19:43:00.000-04:00Isn’t WH Smiths just a fancy word for magazine lib...Isn’t WH Smiths just a fancy word for magazine library anyway ;)<br /><br />This always felt like a 80s throwback what with it being a bit rubbish and full of well know comedians in guest roles. It’s defiantly very 6th Doctor era at it’s excessive worst. You could easily replace Chris and Billie with Colin and Nicola and I doubt it would make the slightest bit difference, although the fashion quality would certainly take a humongous dive while the cleavage factor would see a sharp upturn. <br /><br />Thankfully the next few episodes make up for this tacky dud. Keep up the good work guys, the best is yet to come.Mark Greighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12984193299389764649noreply@blogger.com
