The Doctor is split from Amy and forced to lodge with Craig, where he shows of his footballing skills and discovers an alien presence upstairs which is luring in victims with calls for help.
I still honestly cannot make my mind up about this episode. It's definitely only Matt Smith that could have pulled this one off, would have been difficult to imagine Eccleston as a lodger.
I love the idea of the voice in the house calling out for help and bringing in unsuspecting victims, talk about a creepy idea, it's a real nasty one. Whilst I love James Corden, I never thought I'd see him in Who, but he is good, he's fun. I like Craig's romance with Sophie. The set of the ship upstairs is a goody.
Amy had been at her best in Vincent and the Doctor, and was hidden away for the most of this one, it felt a bit unfair, but it was clear she was going to feature in the finale. I think the best bit had to be her finding the ring, a real mood changer.
I think I struggle with the idea of the Doctor being a lodger, and playing football, fun, but it's to me not really what the show's about. Naked Doctor, no thanks!! The only Doctor's chest that should remain in history is Pertwee's.
Series 4 had Turn left to set up the finale, having watched that my heart was racing, after watching this my heart kind of limped towards the finale.
