Fear Her

[altariel]

Extremely good episode, I thought, which handled domestic terror much better than 'The Idiot's Lantern'. I loved the TARDIS landing smack up against a wall, and the performances of the little girl and her mother were excellent. As scary as Marianne Dreams only without the unremitting empty bleakness which I think vaguely traumatized me as a child.

The only thing which didn't work for me (and really didn't) was Huw Edwards gasping, "The Olympic dream is dead! Hope and love are dead!" or whatever it was, but perhaps this is something to do with the 'family viewing' thing and thousands upon thousands of Blue Peter brainwashed nine-year-olds across the nation were also gasping in fear and horror and distress and I shouldn't be such a crusty old cynic.

My real problem is that Doctor Who...or any show for that matter, shouldn't be swiping from "Ghostbusters 2" for it's plot resolution (see olympic torch vs Statue of Liberty (with torch)) --Otherwise, I liked it.
