Doctor Who 1x03 - "The Unquiet Dead"
This week on Doctor Who:
The TARDIS materialises on Christmas Eve in 1869 Cardiff. A reading by esteemed author Charles Dickens is interrupted by a walking corpse, from which issues an eerie gaseous phantom. Intervening, the Doctor and Rose -- together with a skeptical Dickens -- trace the supernatural occurrence back to the premises of undertaker Gabriel Sneed. During their investigation, Rose befriends Sneed's maid, Gwyneth, who is gifted with the "second sight." And Gwyneth alone may be the key to unlocking the terrible secret of the mortuary.
What were the opinions of this episode? Personally, I thought it was outstanding. Perhaps the best so far. This one really rang true the memories of the classic Doctor Who series. It was a bit like "The Talons of Weng-Chiang" or similar period episodes. Very well done to the author, Mark Gatiss!
