What Did You Think of Journey / Centre of the Tardis?

Doctor Who Journey to the Centre of the Tardis

The Tardis is captured by a spaceship salvage team, sending its systems into meltdown.

As the Doctor introduces himself to the motley crew of galactic rag-and-bone men, he realises Clara is still trapped within his malfunctioning ship, so he persuades his new acquaintances to help find his companion, taking them deep into the heart of his beloved blue box.

But their hopes of a straightforward rescue are dashed when it turns out Clara is not the only one down there. Matt Smith and Jenna-Louise Coleman star, with Ashley Walters (Inside Men).

Now that the 5th episode of series 7b has aired in the UK what did you think?, was it the best episode ever or just average.

    Agree with you there, and out of season 7a: from best to worst:
    Dinosaurs on a spaceship
    Asylum of the daleks
    Angels take mathatten
    Town called Mercey
    Power of 3
    And out all of season 7so far my favourites are:cold war, journey to the centre of the tardis, asylum of the daleks and dinosaurs on a spaceship

    I bet in either this series or the last series, the Doctor’s name may have been said or written somewhere in the background!

    Also is anyone else getting annoyed by how we still haven’t even scratched the surface of who or what Clara is?!

    Wait how many more episodes are there still left in this series? Three more, made up of the Crimson Horror next week, the cybermen theme park and the Doctor’s name episode?

    In my opinion this was the best episode in series 7 so far. It has everything: monsters, humour, frights, surprises and secrets! It was particularly scary when the brothers ‘burned’, those burned bodies were creepy, especially when we found out that one of them were Clara. And she(Clara) actually saw his name! Shame that she forgot, but it would be interesting if in ‘The Name of The Doctor’ she would suddenly remember.

    It was a shame we didn’t see a flashback of the time war. And also, that rift looks like the crack in time!

    There’s something very odd about Mrs Gillyflower’s Sweet Ville mill, with its perfectly clean streets and beautiful people.
    There’s something even stranger about the bodies washing up in the river, all bright red and waxy. When the Doctor and Clara go missing, it’s up to Vastra, Jenny and Strax to rescue them before they too fall victim to the Crimson Horror!”

    If someone told me a year ago that Steve Thompson would be writing the best episode of series 7 I’d have laughed in their face. Wow…

    I think Gaiman’s episode is the only one that can knock this episode from the top spot!

    What is the next episode about? I saw the trailer at the end of today’s episode but could someone just go over it??? Thanks!

    One of the best eps of Series 7 so far!!!! More bits of the TARDIS and those Time Zombies were freaky!!!! As 4 the brothers, the ep could have done without them, looking foward to The Crimson Horror!!!!

  • The Flying Shark

    I loved this episode! Next week’s looks good too.

    this will go down as a dr who classic

  • Still Not Ginger

    April 27th, 2013 - 7:22pm

    Awesome! The Umbrella, Cot and the Crack all returned! Best ep of series 7 and fantastic acting!

  • drjakeyoung

    I have to admit, i thought it would be good, but this episode just blew me away! With finding a bit more out with clara and those really annoying van halon (did i say that right?!) brothers and learning lots of origins of the TARDIS! And the Christopher eccleston cameo! The time war book! That was just awesome! I hope everyone else found this episode as good as i did! The only downside was i think the brothers were a bit weak at acting. 9/10!

  • matt9982

    Best: Hide
    Journey to the TARDIS
    Cold War
    Bells of St.John
    Worst:Rings of Akhaten
