"The Eleventh Hour": Absolute drivel.

The new Doctor Who story was a huge disappointment; probably the worst new Doctor story yet, which is saying a lot considering that 'The Twin Dilemma' & 'Time and the Rani' were both rather atrocious. Wafer-thin plot, a tone pitched purely at the under 8s, lots of overacting and a general sense of 'seen it all before'. Steven Moffat needs to raise his game if he is to avoid a short run as head writer.

That'll teach you not to appreciate what you have, Spara. I warned you time and time again...

Nonsense. Both have lists of positives from strong ecological messages to impressive special effects and briliant alien races.

Wafer-thin plot,
What were you expecting?

Something as deep and meaningful as an intelligent space cat and some aliens resurrecting Napoleon?

a tone pitched purely at the under 8s
Same as RTD did.

lots of overacting
Oh, weren't they wooden enough to be Kiwi soap stars?

and a general sense of 'seen it all before'.
And where had you seen it all before?

Except everyone else loves it and he's already got another two years scheduled.

You're going to have to join the silent minority, mate. You ain't talking for the normal people any more.
