Good concept ruined again by including Tate and Cribbins...hoping for better from the second part

*SPOILER ALERT - IF YOU HAVENT SEEN IT YET DONT READ ON*

Disagree. Tate and Cribbens were OK. John Simm was chewing the scenery but love him as The Master.

The tenderness of the scene in the cafe between Wilf and the Doctor was one of the best of new Who.

The problem with Part1 is that it's main purpose was to set things up for the final act. Nice touch bringing back the Timelords at the end. Didnt see that coming...

It not them as such its just the lazy writing.Its need an injection of something to get it going again.Just too many revisits to past characters,creatures and concepts for me.Love the Timelords then they put them in a chamber nicked off Star Wars 1 to 3.The Master in a dress???Honestly??All over the world......just like the Cybermen were a few series ago....?

Bring on the new Doctor and hopefully the writers will revisit some decent 70's scripts for a change.

Stephen Moffat has said he will not be revisiting old monsters - that it will be all new in tone and feel. Looking back at his new Who scripts the franchise is in safe hands.

BTW - NEVER use the phrase Star Wars 1-3. Those films were never made in the Scouser universe...

Thats a bit like me with Carry on England!

TBH its David Tennant I've had enough of.Fed up of his over-acting.Christ... he even over did it on Never Mind the Buzzcocks for gawds sake.Cant wait his demise....my lad who is 9 is now requesting more Tom Baker dvd's.How fickle fame?

Get it right. The 1980s.
