3 weeks till new Who!

[Bagpuss]

Hah - yeah, I'd managed to forget about that.

I wonder if that is just a writers idea of a joke, or something like the GI at work.

 

[Plane Sailing]

Yeah I enjoyed this episode. The previous episodes have been far too much romantically centered, and the pacing was superb. Emma Peel was great too!

I'd not spotted that it was Emma Peel... Great acting there.

yeah I was wondering if Tom Thomas might be more hint than bad joke. I think the leech design was a bad joke though

However I did like the gobby Australian reference

and think Ninja Jenny needs her own episode

The leech seemed to me to be a throwback to the old series. I did get a laugh when Rachel Stirling mutilated it with her cane though. There's something about this episode I feel I've missed. Just a nagging feeling there's something I didn't pick up that I should have. Only two episodes left then another 6-month wait. I have gotten the feeling that about half the "Part Two" episodes could have been two-parters.

There was a bit more humor in this episode than has been standard of late.

 

[Nellisir]

OK, I really liked this one. Straight up liked it. Still got the family thing going on.

 

[Herschel]

It was fun. At first I thought they were going back to an almost Doctorless episode like they did during the Tennant years. Thomas Thomas made me groan though.

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

Well yeah that's less believable, but really is it any more so than a boy in the victorian era that talks like a SatNav and is called Thomas, Thomas?

Thomas Thomas made me groan though.

It took me a minute to get that one.

And for anyone who was slower on that than I was:

btw does anyone else miss the Silurians actually looking like reptiles (albeit with 3 eyes) rather than Vastra the Snake-girl scaley?

Yeah the Great Detective is cool but her face is far too human and I just can't shake off the feeling that her designer had a weird fetish...

I almost wish that the Doctor was down and out for the count to have made this a full Doctor-less episode. There would have been a lot of interesting drama and dialogue between the Victorian Three and Clara, and it would have given these other characters a little more focus and screentime.
