What Did You Think of Nightmare in Silver?
What Did You Think of Nightmare in Silver?
Hedgewick’s World of Wonders was once the greatest theme park in the galaxy, but it’s now the dilapidated home to a shabby showman, a chess-playing dwarf and a dysfunctional army platoon.
When the Doctor, Clara, Artie and Angie arrive, the last thing they expect is the re-emergence of one of the Doctor’s oldest foes. The Cybermen are back
Now that the 7th episode of series 7b has aired in the UK what did you think?, was it the best episode ever or just average.

ROCKSTAR
May 20th, 2013 - 7:21pmYeah the idea of upgrading during battle was cool
ROCKSTAR
May 20th, 2013 - 7:19pmThat is not a quick upgrade thier like those spoonhead things in the bells st john they just stand there Normally they become cybermen real quick e.g series 2 episode 6 the age of steel jackie tyler is upgraded proper quick
ROCKSTAR
May 20th, 2013 - 7:10pmWhat s the first 4
ROCKSTAR
May 20th, 2013 - 7:09pmI know why would they put that in .Cybermen used to be cool nowdays they ve changed I like sontarans better.Hopefully the daleks will remeber the doctor or davros will return in series 8.
ROCKSTAR
May 20th, 2013 - 7:04pmYeah but every series in the last episode it s mostly about the companion than the doctor e.g series 1 Rose , series 2 Rose , series 3 Martha , series 4, Donna , series 5 Amy , series 6 a little doctor and a little river and series 7 Clara

May 20th, 2013 - 6:57pmThey must have rushed because the children did a very bad job.

May 18th, 2013 - 1:04pmThe episode was Ok to say the least, yet I didn’t feel exited by it at all. Niel Gaiman, the writer let the fans down because he wrote “The Doctors Wife” in 2011, and that was fantastic, but it wasn’t the same this time round. Also the children’s acting was horrendous, and I didn’t think the Cybermen were given a good enough part to play, like “Closing Time”, the Cybermen were taken for granted. I also think Gaiman got inspiration for the battle of chess through the mind from the three doctors as Omega’s slave and him fought, hand to hand in their heads. The Cybermites were an interesting idea, but I still prefer the old Cybermats which could poison you with venom, but Matt Smith and Warwick Davies made a good duet in acting. The newer Cybermen episodes seem to lack what they used to be, I’m still waiting for a episode similar to those of “The Tomb of the Cybermen” and “Earthshock”

May 18th, 2013 - 12:52pmI don’t agree, because Russel.T.Davis introduced that phrase, when in the classic series the cybermen most commonly said “eradicate them!”

May 18th, 2013 - 11:18amThe worst cyberman story ever, the kids were annoying the doctor at points was annoying and it didn’t make any sense.

May 16th, 2013 - 10:41pmSeemed far too silly and superfluous, more of a downgrade than an upgrade. The children were irritating, especially the girl who said she was bored ( she was not the only one). However, if I was whisked away in a blue box bored would not be the first reaction I would come out with. Overall it seemed a sloppy addition to the season, which seems to be the trend at the moment. I really would like things to go back to the sharper and more exciting, atmospheric stories of its relaunch.

May 16th, 2013 - 5:42pmDont have kids in. Full stop.
John Smith
May 15th, 2013 - 5:02pmTerrible episode! The cybermen are less scary than ever before, the speed of upgrade was ridiculous, the freedom of movement was awful. In fact the only thing that was an improvement was the fact that they moved really quickly. Also the children were terrible actors and the doctor overacted!
John Smith
May 15th, 2013 - 4:49pmme too!
McGann is the Doctor
May 15th, 2013 - 12:59pmTurned into a clown ? Have you seen his first story ? He was nothing BUT a clown in that story, and for the most part of that season.
Only with the 2011 series did the character of his Doctor really start to work and the “clowning” actually get funny :p
The Moffat Paradox
May 15th, 2013 - 12:19amWhich is why Dalek:the Supreme I think it would be the makings of a great story if the Daleks are having to take it as much(if not more) than they dish it out because these Cybermen are more of a threat.Then we see how really resourceful they can or have to be.
In the original series as you probably know they were nearly made extinct in their war which was otherwise stalemated for centuries with the android Movellans because the Movellans developed a virulent anti Dalek virus.And what in series canon happened to the Movellans?

May 14th, 2013 - 8:19pmI actually thought “Nightmare in Silver” was a good episode. Mainly because Matt Smith’s acting in this ep was astonishing, I applaud him! I think he did an amazing job.

May 14th, 2013 - 7:46pmdid they really look for the worst child acters in the WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mad Dalek
May 14th, 2013 - 2:10pmSeen better , This season is worst by far, lack of thrills, bad acting, rubbish endings, and monsters being turned into camp panto vilians. Matt smith’s dr did start off good but he’s turned into a bit of a clown. I won’t be itching to see the next season, Seems that S. Moffet has killed the series off instead of darking it
TMD
May 14th, 2013 - 1:58pmThis has been the worst season i’ve seen, Daleks who care for the sick, bad acting, bad scripts and monsters what have been turned into jokes…… it’s what happened to the Borg in Voyager. disappointment all round, seen better entertainment in the Sooty show
Clocky
May 14th, 2013 - 1:31pmA dissapointing return of the Cybermen with some of the WORST acting I think I’ve ever seen since the re-boot of Doctor Who. Tamzin & the kids were awful
Doctor J
May 14th, 2013 - 12:39amVery happy with the ending with the Cybermite in space exacly like the Cybermat escaped in Tomb The Cybermen to tell us that the Cybermen will be back.
