I agree with most rating and posting here that it was a great new episode...one of the best things about the new series is the way they are working more historical stories into the frame, which the BBC are definitely good at! And doing it in a fun way as they did with the Shakespeare Code makes it entertaining for all :-)

Agreed, Mercury, well said! :)

enjoyable! Better then episode 1 :) a captivating, haunting and quite magical episode. :) i really liked the use of effects and acting in this, and the idea of the queen being the Doctors Sworn enemy was actually quite amusing, since we don't know what happened :P I noticed Ross' c onfusaion about why Queen Victoria did not notice the Doctor, so im guessing Queen Elizabeth had a personal vendetta against the Doctor, but overall, nicely done :)

I loved shakespeare in this and how he flirted with Martha. Also when the carionite said rose's name I sat up smiling. And the Harry Potter referance.
8/10

(I realy need my spellchecker working again. :))

Ick. When I heard the Rose reference I cringed inwardly and wondered when everyone would finally be over her. :(
