My least favourite stories of the series
By a customer from Birmingham , 25 Aug 2008[Highly rated reviewer]
Despite some impressive CGI of the Library and the Midnight planet, you get the impression that the budget is being saved on these episodes, perhaps to keep money for the finale. I found the library stories unsatisfying with too many unexplained bits and plot holes, and the final episode on the disk was focussed on the angst and breakdown of the veneer of 'civilised' values of people in crisis and facing possible unpleasant death, and frankly I couldn't give a toss!- Was this review helpful to you?

I love the Library
By a customer from London , 17 Dec 2008I know there's a bit of Matrix like derivativeness here, but these two episodes about the Library are my very favourites from series 2 - 4 - the sheer pleasure of so many neat devices, one piled on top of another was really great. (Also, I'm keen to spend the afterlife locked in an infinite library - God, please note.) Some people have pointed to the relatively simple props - but I'm just pleased that sheer good storytelling can leave me scared to death by a stack of books, some mood lighting and some unfortunate archeologists in spacesuits.- Was this review helpful to you?

Midnight
By noise (2 reviews) from Billericay , 08 Oct 2008The Library i really enjoyed, but Midnight is one of the best Dr Who episodes yet. It is tight, no special effects and completely different from any other Dr Who episode.
It is brought down to the skill of the actors, the script, the camera work and the sound perhaps reminiscent of 'Alien' in the style it scares you.
You see David Tennent bringing his acting skills right out and The Doctor finds himself alone and scared and having to think very fast. Some of the technical accomplishments may have been missed by the public, but if you appreciate a TV programme being brought down to it's nuts and bolts and see what can be done with a group of actors in a confined space, a tight script and a smart camera and sound crew you will love it... and probably find it scary and freaky.- Was this review helpful to you?
