• Three-quarters a brilliant episode, only let down by a disappointingly “Is that it? climax. But there is a lot of fun to be had along the way.
• Until that climax it’s like a very appealing mix “Turn Left” and “The Lodger” with an Quatermass story taking place in the background. Though it has its own unique structure too.
• Despite being an episode that concentrates on Amy and Rory, it’s an absolute tour de force for Matt Smith’s Doctor – he’s a delight to watch.
• The Doctor uses a skill he hasn’t used since season five.
• There are some very creepy moments, made creepier by how crazy everything else is going on around them.
• Brian is very thorough.
• There are some lovely moments of recognition for fans.
• There as return to those “appearing as themselves” cameos… big time. And very well chosen a couple of them are too.
• The biggest laugh concerns a song you never wanted to hear again.
• It’s often at its best in its quieter, character moments. There’s a very simple, but incredibly moving scene between Brian and the Doctor.
• “Welcome back, Lefty!”
• One guest character is rather wasted, but another is simply brilliant.
• Amy has a new job.
• Someone has to water the flowers.
• There are lots of surprises.
• Amy wears a very nice dress at one point.
• Two famous artists are namechecked.
• There’s something very strange cooking on the barbecue.
