And even though it's a Doctor lite episode The Sunday Times has described it as the best of the series so far!! Shocked

This is after the brilliance that we have just seen from Paul Cornell. Mind you Blink is written by Steven Moffat so it should be good.

Doctor Lite? I take it similar to last years episode with Peter Kay then? Hopefully it will be better this time round

Yes not much of The Doctor or Martha and yet it's been raved about in some previews. And then Moffat's Jekyll will be starting soon on Saturday nights as well. Very Happy

Did I miss something, in the first episode, when Tim collides with Martha, it flashed to the present day with 'Tim' colliding with Martha and calling her name, what was that all about.


Tim had the watch and could 'see' the Doctor's past experiences - the collision is the one from the series opener when the Doctor collides with Martha. What we saw in this episode was Tim as the Doctor.

I'm not so sure. Given that he saw his own future in the battlefield in 1914, that scene could well be in the finale, where people could be taken out of their usual time zones.

wonder how Silvester McCoy would have played it. Guess Matha took the place of Ace.


Benny rather than Ace in this case.

Oh right ,so the book stories have different companions for the doctor, very confusing.

not sure about the doctor punishing the alien body snatchers, was the doctor in the books more vengefull

WOW! That was brillant tonight love the nerdy stuff "you mean people on the internet right?" and dvd easter eggs. Loved that episode to bits, the 'Lite' episodes totally kick ass I hope they do another next series.

I really hope those fake eggs of the doctor talking to the camera apear on the series 3 dvd as an extra (or easter eggs).

Another excellent episode from Steven Moffat - in my opinion he has turned in the best stories in all 3 series so far. RTD needs to get him to do more next year.

Shame the Doctor didn't feature more but it was still an excellent story, and very well written.

A good episode of "Confidential" followed it too - very nostalgic!
