I'm really not sure about this latest one. Technically, it was absolutely stunning, with fantastic effects, stunning make-up and wonderful performances (this post brought to you by the Oxford English Thesaurus). Story-wise however, it wasn't that great in my opinion. It struck me as a thinly-veiled political statement, and I'm surprised there wasn't something about congestion charges in there.
I'm really going off Russell T. Davies' writing, I'm afraid. I think I'm right in saying that he's a gay Welshman and while I'm certainly not homophobic or prejudiced against Welsh people in any way (I go to uni in Wales and absolutely love it there for a start), I'm getting slightly bored of his habit of inserting gay characters into almost every single bit of TV he writes for. I do still love Dr. Who, and indeed some of RTD's earlier work, but I'd like to see him write a bit more about something outside of himself, if you see what I mean.
I know this probably makes me sound like a complete prannet, but believe me that isn't my intention at all. I can be quite appallingly bad at expressing myself in writing at times.
