Of course not. I will do my best impression of The Silence. ;)

Not a huge fan. But wasn't keen on last night's episode. ..... Did it not rewrite the entire history of dr who, by saying that BLANK didn't get KER-BLANKED? Excuse me if I'm talking twoddle, as i said. Not an avid fan

That's a bit of a massive spoiler...
And as I'm told [spoiler]only the history of modern Who is changed, but actually they kept it canon, as Hurt and Tennant (and by extension, Eccleston) didn't remember doing it. Smith did, but he's the current Doctor. Getting all 13 of them to help was maybe a bit farfetched, but if 3 can be in the same room, that's also plausible.[/spoiler]

I really enjoyed An Adventure In Space And Time. Some of it was very moving, and the time went really fast.

I also loved The Five(ish) Doctors - particularly as I visited the Doctor Who Experience and the BBC Cymru studio in Cardiff a few months ago, so I kept saying 'we've been there!'.

I thought the 4th ahem stole the show with that cameo personally.

Generally a confusing exercise in Moffatness. If we can draw any conclusions from that episode its that its going to get better now hes gone, as this was unnecessarily complex and nonsensical as he ever was, but with some really good ingredients. Pity its not cooked well.

I thought having Tennant back showed just how fitting he was for the role, he stood out compared to Matt such that he had to be kept on a leash. Its a shame Billy Piper was relied on because shes still a horrifically bad actress, and doesn't even resemble RT anymore. I guess we should count our blessings that ginger div didn't turn up.

Nice ending anyway. roll on season 8 or which ever one it is now.

I really enjoyed seeing David Tennant again, he remains my favourite "new" doctor.

I liked

[spoiler]the line about him always saying he doesn't want to go![/spoiler]

Re Billy Piper, I thought

[spoiler]casting her as a character imitating her character was a neat way to get around the problem of how she never managed to get the voice right after leaving as a regular.[/spoiler]

I wasn't sure where Tennant was in his timeline.

[spoiler]He sounded baffled at "Bad Wolf girl" rather than heartbroken, and he was travelling without a companion. If this was post Rose Tyler disappearing to another universe, I would have expected a bit more misery?[/spoiler]

Re the big ending

[spoiler]I know the Doctor was meant to have killed his own people, but I was sure we had heard of Gallifrey being timelocked before - maybe in one of the Christmas specials - and now I can't remember why.[/spoiler]

And re the little ending

[spoiler]Er, what? I liked the appearance of the curator, but what was it supposed to mean? A past regeneration can't just retire and age, they're gone forever! What happened?[/spoiler]

I loved the 'War Doctor', shame to introduce such a brilliant regeneration and then get rid of him!

I both appreciated and disliked

[spoiler]all the doctors lined up. Lovely idea, but the quality looked naff on iPlayer. Actually, talking of archive footage, I liked how they tried to bring them all in, including Eccleston who could have filmed something new but didn't want to. I realise he hates the role, but he was so very good at it. How did the other doctors assemble, btw? I timey wime-ily didn't understand that.[/spoiler]

Overall, great episode.
