    Poor

    Alongside the woeful 'Fear Her' from series 2, this was the worst episode since Doctor Who was revived. Catherine Tate's pairing with David Tennant was horribly mis-judged, but then anybody who had seen her 'comedy' show should have already worked that out. Sarah Parrish as the spider queen is pure pantomime in every respect, and the plot resolution is increasingly typical of Russell T Davies' style that internal story logic doesn't matter as long as you've got a big flashy effect to finish off with. Cringe-worthy dialogue abounds and not even the occasionally striking direction from Euros Lyn rescues the production from being a complete and utter disaster. All in my humble opinion, of course.

    The Tardis gone cinegenic

    Well I watched it in August, but I could feel the Xmas spirit in this. Not the greatest in the new series: the Racnos is more of a child's nightmares monster and Catherine Tates is too... Catherine Tate! , however the Tardis for a short while became a truly fantastic spaceship/Time machine doing car chases on the motorway and shooting off to the skyes rather than doing its usual and rather underwhelming disappearing trick. Watch it for those bits if not for anything else. I might not sound very enthusiastic, but I did enjoy it!
