Expect spoilers...
Okay...?
Right, let's go.
Doctor Who 610 - The Girl Who Waited... Now, this is more like it. After last week's dose of "errrr, seen it all before", we come to one of those hallmarks of "New Who", namely a good meaty, character-driven piece of drama. True, it does rely on the old "wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey", but not in such a way that it's going to lose the attention of the more casual viewer. For an arc-free episode, it doesn't get much better than this...
( Here's where it might get spoilery... )
The Final Verdict... Karen Gillan shines. The make-up beats all previous ageing attempts. The story makes the Doctor's companions face up to themselves, and him. Splendid stuff. Score: 8.5/10
Next week - is this a "monster of the week" episode, or is there something more? I'm guessing the latter!
