Tony was (of course) fab. All slick and screechy and weevil. But, come on, SARAH JANE and K-9 were there! I nearly cried. About 3 times. And I'm not even the hugest Doctor Who fan...

So far in the new episodes we haven't seen him in any real quandaries (like his soul searching in 'Genesis of the Daleks' for example) so it was good to see The Doctor actually being tempted and having his resolve tested.
A couple of laugh out loud moments too, pretty good effects, most enjoyable.
(and did I mention K9 was in it ! Good, good dog ;)

Bwah, awesome. And that was just the teaser.

Love Tony in this, infact I think he dominated every scene he was in with an air of controlled menace.
Ripper eat your heart out!

Definitely the best so far this season, and possibly my 4th favorite of the new series (after the Dalek ones).
Tony was brilliant, hoping we see him again, before that explosion I was sure we would, the krillitane oil didn't seem to be doing much to him like it was the others. And I still believe the character was open enough for them to revisit and make it so that even if he isn't The Master himself, there is a part of him in there, but that's possibly just my wanting Tony Head to play a recurring character.
Was just, great, gonna have to watch it again so I can see just what exactly was great about it, 'cos I had a huge grin on my face throughout.

So, yep, I enjoyed it, but Who'll never be top-of-the-line television for me. It's campy fun (with added emotion, this time 'round), but it lacks the depth and complexity (and, sometimes, the acting) I look for in quality tv. It's fine 'fluff' viewing though. And despite the lacking dramatic intensity, you've gotta love the humor :-).

Blowing up the high school.
The Doctor giving Rose almost exactly the same speech about growing old that Angel gave Buffy.
