Once again, such a fantastic episode. I honestly don't know why I used to be so scared by "Are you my mommy" thing, but hey!
Satisfying solution to the cliffhanger, followed by loveable scenes between the Doctor, Rose and Jack and concluding with some heart-felt moments in a resolution that answers all looming questions from the weak before.
Although I've enjoyed most of the new series of Dr. Who it is this episode alone which brought me back to the days of my childhood when I could be genuinely frightened by Dr. Who.
The eerie child beckoning the innocents to zombification on the streets of WWII London will have you checking your doors and window to be sure they are locked. The entire episode seems to take place at night adding even more of a sinister atmosphere.
I was amazed to see this episode was written by Stephen Moffat who's work on Coupling is some of the funniest "brit com" humour of recent years.

Not quite as good of a second part but only just below part 1 because this was still an exquisite episode and maybe even more frightening than the the 1st part.
If i had any objections it would be Captain Jack, I found John Barrowman's Performance absolutely amazing in future episodes, was a little lacking here; but being his introduction episode to the Doctor Who franchise i can't complain. Certainly seen much worse character introductions on other tv shows.

Historically with the two parters, we get one fantastic part and a let down part, that has gone on for ten years. This was the exception, Part 1 was outstanding at this part was even better.
It starts of in the same very high tempo manor, with a satisfying solution to the cliffhanger. It continues to be even creepier, the patients getting up and walking around are extremely creepy. During all the terror Rose wants to find out if the Doctor dances.
Jack becomes an even more interesting character, his flirty banter was fun, Florence Hoath continues to be superb in it. The imagery is superbly done, and the production values are superb. The ending is particularly good and has some very sweet moments.

- TriviaColin Baker named this as his favourite episode of the series, highlighting the "Everybody Lives" scene as his favourite moment.
- GoofsIn the preceding episode ('The Empty Child') the Doctor states that "mauve is the universally recognised colour for danger" and that red (the colour human beings most associate with alarm or danger) is, by everyone else's standards, "camp". However, when the Doctor attempts to open/enter the Chula ambulance ship in 'The Doctor Dances', the alarm that is triggered shows a blinking red light.
