The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances (Doctor Who): Review

Now I know that this isn't a Vengeance review, but I don't have the DVD yet, but when it arrives, I'll review it.

Strange title sequence. You understand it more as you watch the episode. I love that music. It's just like a modern version of the old ones. I still prefer the Pertwee title sequence though. I really enjoy Eccleston's Doctor. Works well. And I love how he plays it. John Smith. Nice reference to the classic series. Great representation of World War II. 'Has anything fallen from the sky recently?' Haha! Made me laugh! A bloody cat becomes more important than Rose! Bless.

That child asking for his mummy was freaky. Sends a shiver down your spine! Typical Jack line! 'Excellent bottom!' I agree. The children desperate for food reminds me of Oliver. Not sure why. Probably because they're so hungry.

The Doctor made me laugh with his 'thanks miss'. I keep forgetting that Jack was originally Moffat's idea, even though Russell adapted him. Oh, Glen Miller. Fantastic musician. High tech binoculars for WW2. I love that Sonic Screwdriver prop too.

That growth of the gas mask, the CGI was superb! Great cliffhanger. Read on if you want, but there's spoilers!

'GO TO YOUR ROOM!' Chris is great as the Doctor. Enjoy this review so far? I'm trying to make it funny, but it's not funny at all, is it?! The Doctor's mental! Bananas are good!

Jack said Old Sport. Is that a reference to the Great Gatsby? I really like how Nancy and Rose get on. It seems like a very nice relationship. I think even though we know all about it, the shall we say 'gas mask people' are very scary. Moffat is excellent with villains.

Aww, you gotta feel sorry for Jamie though?! He's so sweet, bless him. You can have a happy ending every now and again in Doctor Who. But not when everything's rewritten, eh Hide!

Dr Constentine was funny. He was great! 'Who says I'm not, red bicycle when you were twelve' was one of the best lines in any episode ever! I loved this. It was so sweet! Bless the lot of them. John Barrowman was my highlight though. I love the way he flirts with everybody that he meets! That last scene was great with Glen Miller. Overall, I give it an 8.9/10. Tomorrow's review should be Time of the Doctor.
