phoenix64 Did anyone else think this was going to be kind of a throwaway episode and then go o.O? Duuude.
Lesley Sharp! It took you long enough! You're one of the last major players in a previous RTD project to show up in DW.
OK, so I can totally hear Rusty thinking, "Everyone keeps going on about Moffat's scripts - I'll show them I can scare them behind the couch too!" And the thing is, he did write a wonderfully scary and good story. But I can't help thinking that Moffat tends to give us a frightening situation that then shows us people at their best while RTD tends to give us a frightening situation that then shows us people at their worst. Actually, the more I think about it the more that holds up. Hmm. (But I don't wanna be one of the Rusty bashers! Rusty gave us back the Doctor!)
