SPOILERS for EPISODE TWO of Series 5! John Williams, of the very funny Tachyon TV podcast and the very insightful Behind the Sofa collaborative blog, sallies forth for precisely two minutes on "The Beast Below." Warning: The spectre of Dick van Dyke is invoked.
Before anyone rubs my nose in it – yes I did forget about The Girl in the Fireplace. I have whipped myself for an hour as penance.
Well said, John. I think I agree with pretty much everything you say–definite vibe of "The Happiness Patrol" occasionally. However, I *like* the McCoy era, so I enjoyed the episode much more than you did, I believe. Still, a very strong second episode for the new Doctor.
I completely missed the McCoy similarities. Wow, you're right.
