Doctor Who – What Did You Think of Hide?
What Did You Think of Hide?
Clara and the Doctor arrive at Caliburn House, a haunted mansion sat alone on a desolate moor.
Within its walls, a ghost-hunting professor and a gifted psychic are searching for the Witch of the Well. Her apparition appears throughout the history of the building, but is she really a ghost? And what is chasing her?
Now that the 4th episode of series 7b has aired in the UK what did you think?, was it the best episode ever or just average.

April 21st, 2013 - 10:01pmGood story up to last 3 mins….ending ruined it.
shame really. Not a satisfying ending. Why was the monster laughing in the woods if he was trying to get home. Why not just walk up to the doctor and be friendly instead of scaring him. It would have had a better chance of getting home. The doctor seemed to understand what was happening very quickly after bieng clueless not minutes before.
Why didnt the tardis just land so they could get in at the end. Jumping on a rapid spinning moving object would be VERY dangerous. Big drop of quality from last weeks episode.

April 23rd, 2013 - 1:39pmI totally agree. It would’ve been fine if they just cut the last 3 minutes. It ruined the terror the episode gives, and makes no sense in terms of what happened next. It feels like some hack taped that on the end of a great story just to ruin it. Neil Cross did a good job with The Rings of Akhaten, I thought, but he majorly failed on the ending here.

April 21st, 2013 - 7:24pmIt would be funny if instead of saying what did you think of hide, it should say did you hide? It would kinda funny
ForeverDalek2313
April 21st, 2013 - 2:37pmThis episode was good, but a lot more could have happened in the story. I will say I was scared a few times. But it seems with most episodes lately they just feel unfinished.

April 21st, 2013 - 1:51pmLoved this episode and next weeks looks brilliant!
Dalek Smith
April 21st, 2013 - 1:41pmwe’re getting something from classic dr who every episode:
bells of st john the great intelligence
rings of akhaten the mention of susan
cold war ice warriors
hide the blue crystal

April 22nd, 2013 - 1:06amDon’t forget the Eye Of Harmony as well! Love these little nods to the past; they’re not too complex to alienate new and casual viewers but they still keep obsessive old school fans like me happy! Nice!
Dalek The Supreme
April 23rd, 2013 - 1:42pmAside from the ending of this story, I think Doctor Who is doing fantastically right now, and judging by the season so far, the 50th Anniversery looks to be fantastic!

April 21st, 2013 - 11:22amthis was not a good ep. it could of been great as the woman and the man was great. but as soon as the dr and clara turned up it went down hill. i wanted a ghost story but this was not that it was not scary and it was boring
3 out 10
Scott the Vigil
April 21st, 2013 - 11:58amI totally agree.

Really haven’t enjoyed this series but the last two episodes for me have been brilliant, especially Hide. Looking forward to the rest of the series, especially the Diana Rigg episode and the new Cybermen. Neil Gaiman’s a great writer, I’m sure he’ll do brilliantly 🙂

martin banham
April 21st, 2013 - 10:35amAll in all, a good episode. Not one of the best but still pretty good. Could do with Matt’s doctor not rushing around so much and running everywhere but that’s probably a bit “picky”. Not sure about Clara yet and the TARDIS not liking her- there’s obviously something to be revealed there.Chemistry between Matt and Jemma? Jury is out at the moment. Probably give Hide 6.5/10
Anonymous
April 21st, 2013 - 12:36pmIt was Jenna’s first episode she filmed for the series, so the writer didn’t really know how to write her character and relationship with the doctor, so I think it is quite a good try to be honest, especially the scene with the umbrella!
Still Not Ginger
April 21st, 2013 - 10:28amWho else noticed Clara talked about the doctors chin like in AOTD?
Sebatron
April 22nd, 2013 - 10:12amI noticed that too!

RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
April 20th, 2013 - 8:47pmit was a quite good episode. the doctor and clara are great together, jess rain and… the other guy were very good in the story, and the creepiness was really good, but I don’t know if I liked the whole monster/ love element because it got silly at the end with ‘romeo.’ I think it would’ve been better if they were both lost. part of me would’ve liked the whole thing to be an evil alien trying to get into the world but they are flickering through time or something. having it as a time traveller was slightly random and that could’ve been done better. it had good structure and the first half was better.
Scott the Vigil
April 20th, 2013 - 8:16pmI think the creepiest ‘creepy’ story has got to be The Unquiet Dead, a chilling atmosphere, terrifying monsters and creepy sets.
Sam Bentley
April 20th, 2013 - 8:29pmDid you not watch The Empty Child or Blink? 😛
Scott the Vigil
April 20th, 2013 - 8:32pmYes, hated them both.
Sam Bentley
April 20th, 2013 - 8:37pmWell… that’s a shame! I think they are some of the best episodes since it’s revival… and I’m not a fan of horror, though I loved todays episode!

April 20th, 2013 - 9:52pmCompletely agree Sam, thought it was a really good episode, and I don’t care what anyone says, I liked The Rings of Akhaten as well, and I say long may Neil Cross continue to write Doctor Who episodes, he’s very good at it!
Scott the Vigil
April 20th, 2013 - 10:28pmI loved The Rings of Akhaten, but I hated this episode. It had so much potential…….

April 22nd, 2013 - 4:36pmno, opinions differ and every one has the right to their own views
Some people are not getting on with the new series whilst others are over the moon
It boils down to personal preference

April 20th, 2013 - 7:53pmI like it, but I got very confused with the time pocket stuff. An didn’t quite click with the story
4.5/10
pathdw98
April 20th, 2013 - 7:47pmFantastic episode. The best so far. All the cast were amazing in this. Did anyone else notice the funny coincidence about the Metebilis 3 crystal and it being set in 1974? And it being November 20 something as well?

April 20th, 2013 - 8:05pmNovember 25th, one day before Doctor who’s 11th anniversary 🙂

April 22nd, 2013 - 5:43pmI noticed it took place in the same year last week’s monster was last seen.
Anonymous
April 20th, 2013 - 7:43pmthis episode wasern’t a good episode but then again it wasern’t bad. there where some good parts like the continuaty references( although matt smith pronounces Metabelis wrong its prounounced met-a-bee-lis and the ending kinda rewind thefeel of thie episode the idea that the monster’s plot was to get back so that he can( lets just say reverse the polarity of the nutron flo) with that other monster yuck. The acting was good. I give this episode a 4/10 only because I felt this story went nowhere
the astronaut of death
April 20th, 2013 - 7:38pmbrilliant episode loved the plot
just wanted it to be more scary
The Flying Shark
April 20th, 2013 - 7:37pmThis was great, although the ending was unnecessary. Next week’s looks good too.
TheDoctorGallifrey
April 20th, 2013 - 10:05pmI agree, although it was a bit amusing!

April 20th, 2013 - 7:35pmI think journey to the centre of the TARDIS looks quite good
The TARDIS
April 20th, 2013 - 7:34pmA massive step up on the series so far. Great to see a return of the crystal from Metabelis 3, although Matt Smith did pronounce it wrong… Slightly creepy at the beginning, although all of the stuff about the creepiest episode ever was a complete lie. Didn’t detract from my personal series highlight so far. Journey to the centre of the TARDIS looks very interesting, looks to be some developments in the relationship between Clara and the Doctor.
Stan Stanmanson
April 20th, 2013 - 7:34pmAWESOME!!1!! Great story, acting, monsters, Everything! Certainly the best yet! 😀
run you clever boy and remember
April 20th, 2013 - 7:31pmi loved it…
Scott the Vigil
April 20th, 2013 - 7:31pmI think it was awful. Matt Smith didn’t pronounce Metebelis correctly and I don’t quite know how after criticism, they still continue to make love stories.
Matt Smithy
April 20th, 2013 - 7:43pmBecause it has a large fan base and an awful lot of fans. It usually gains about 26% of the TV audience, which is quite a lot if you thing about how many shows are on TV! Yes it gets criticism but it has a larger community of loving fans, and nearly 50 years of history! The start of this episode was long and boring (the Ghostbusters line was too cheesy) but the second half was ok! isn’t an episode I would watch again, but in the second half it was enjoyable. I give it 6/10 🙂 and yea, the metebelis thing was annoying, you think they would have told him how to say it! 😀
Lee Adams (Dalek Tales creator)
April 21st, 2013 - 11:51amwell Sylvester got spirdon wrong in remembrance of the daleks, it was annoying but im sure during read through he was told how it was said but on location during the shoot it probably wasn’t even thought of, remember only production crew and directors are on location. Moffat and the writer arnt there to say “hang on that’s not how its said”, its recorded quickly and mistakes can happen. so i will let it pass as i know how easy this can happen from first hand experience.
Scott the Vigil
April 21st, 2013 - 12:00pmYes but Matt is supposed to be a big fan of the classics.
booboo
April 21st, 2013 - 12:02pmI think there is more to it, it was so glaringly obvious – twice
MAXP
April 22nd, 2013 - 2:25amI really don’t think it’s a big issue that he pronounced it wrong. I wasn’t that dirfferent from normal, I didn’t blink at all when I heard it, I just enjoyed hearing it. Maybe actually it was Pertwee’s doctor who was pronouncing it wrong and he recently just learnt the proper pronunciation of it!
Doctor Stu
April 20th, 2013 - 7:23pmWhen the Doctor is in the forest the TARDIS cloister bell was ringing. So this might be what the Doctor saw in his room in the God complex.
Doctor Stu
April 20th, 2013 - 7:25pmActually forget that because when he looked in his room this episode hadn’t actually happened yet so it couldn’t have been his greatest fear. 😳
Anonymous
April 20th, 2013 - 7:40pmMaybe his greatest fear was being left without a TARDIS?
Sam Bentley
April 20th, 2013 - 8:34pmI have a feeling that the God Complex mystery will be resolved in next weeks episode…
TheDoctorGallifrey
April 20th, 2013 - 10:07pmIn what way, Sam. Just a feeling or is there an explanation?
TheDoctorGallifrey
April 20th, 2013 - 10:08pmSorry! I get it now, what with the TARDIS and his greatest fear involving the cloister bell.
