Having now watched episodes 3 and 4 I must echo the praise for Judith Paris. She was wonderful. Mind you, I do have something of a weakness for sexy female aliens. :)
It was a pity that the male Kastrian Eldrad was so obviously just a man in a rubber suit. Even with their limited budget, I think that they could have done better and made the sharp dividing line between the suit and the man's face rather less obvious. That was the only real downside to what was otherwise a fine story. (Though I did wonder, if the toxin in the harpoon thingy was so deadly, why the Kastrians had bothered with the Obliterator rather than just using the toxin.)
It occurs to be that more of Eldrad's original body may still be buried somewhere in that quarry. Though presumably without the ring it can't do any harm, at least until such time as Steven Moffat decides that it would be a fun monster to revive and finds a way around the missing ring problem.
