Ah, but the marvel of Doctor Who is that it jumps the shark on a regular basis, and can always just jump right back. Time travel, dontcha know... =:o} (Although sometimes, you do have to wait a few years for a change of producer / script editor / whoever).
This week's one was very much a stand-alone oddity brought about by a combination of conflicting production requirements and a not-unreasonable desire to repay the show's long-standing debt to Blue Peter. While I did enjoy it in that vein, I hope it will *remain* a stand-alone oddity. And at least it was more original way of filling-in than a clip-show. =:o\
Alas, while RTD's interview on confidential sounded like he meant very much *not* to swipe at fans, it seems the director may have got the wrong end of the stick... =:o\
For comparison, what did you think of the previous 2-parter?
