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.

The trouble with the current series is a writer that can't seem to get to grips with, or doesn't care about, complex sci-fi characters and plot elements. It wasn't the worst, but I'd still describe it as fast food sci-fi, rather than anything that deserves the Doctor Who name.

I'd like to see future episodes contain more of the depth and intrigue we have seen in previous years.
