    Off Your Trolley...

    If you get a box from Kerblam!, beware of their ingenious plan, swapping humans for bots, leaving people to rot, the packaging peels off with a bang!!!

    For a concept thats mostly generic, this being so good is down to the writing!

    Best episode this series and I'd say in so long for Doctor Who. Everyone can say they miss Moffat but he had so many issues too. This is the first time writing DW for Pete Mctighe and he nailed it! The dialogue was so natural, the pacing was on point, the characters were all excellent, the plot was really well handled with the twist feeling like a twist. He also handled the companions better than in previous episodes. I hope to see this writer much more!

    Finally...

    This is the first episode of the new series that has delivered exactly what I expect of Doctor Who, and the first that I've rated over 5 stars. They managed to get some social commentary in whilst having a real sci-fi plot that kept you guessing; a balance that was sorely lacking in previous episodes.

    If the rest of the season is like this then I'll be happy.

    Another Solid Ep

    Amaz.. I mean kerblam takes a look at our almost too realistic future. The twist wasn't that obvious, but I knew one was coming. I loved the consequences of the villain's actions. Some of the CGI was a bit.. iffy, but it is only a TV episode. Creepy, twisty, dark, and a grim future, this ep is one of the best of the season so far!

    this Doesn't deserve a bad review

    Everyone is saying that this season of doctor who is bad but the truth is it is not as bad as these ratings show. It is weaker than the last view seasons but it is not this bad.

      In regards to the "Help Me" printed on the packing slip, Ryan says there's "no time" in the packing department to alter slips. We previously saw The Doctor, Ryan and Yasmin working in that department, taking extensive time to wrap each individual package - more than enough to write something on a slip - without any reprimand from the security robots said to be monitoring their performance.
    • Quotes

      The Doctor: I'm stupid. Really stupid. Can you believe how stupid I am?

      Graham O'Brien: Is that a rhetorical question?

      The Doctor: I can't believe I didn't think of it sooner. There's too many things going on, too many variables. My brain is too crowded!

      Judy Maddox: [softly, to Graham] What is she talking about?

      Graham O'Brien: No idea, you get used to it, she normally explains in the end.
