What Did You Think of The Bells of Saint John?

What Did You Think of The Bells of Saint John?

The Doctorโ€™s search for Clara Oswald brings him to modern day London, where wifi is everywhere. Humanity lives in a wifi soup.

But something dangerous is lurking in the signals, picking off minds and imprisoning them.

As Clara becomes the target of this insidious menace, the Doctor races to save her and the world from an ancient enemy.

Now that the 1st episode of series 7b has aired in the UK what did you think?, was it the best episode ever or just average.

    Has anyone noticed that the current Clara has become a computer genius just like the future Clara. Possibly a new gene passed down to the future Clara?

    Failed of course to mention the stunning performance from Celia Imrie, and the reveal of the Great Intelligence which hints towards a greater story unfolding. Some good we pieces of music by Murray Gold as well.

    I loved this episode, the story was very clever and funny, the 45 minutes whisked by like a ride up the Shard! Unfortunately, the resolution was way too rushed, and Clara’s ongoing story is beginning to feel a bit too contrived. Jenna-Louise Coleman has continued to impress however, and the shots of London gave it a real feeling of freshness. The relationship between the two leads has grown immensely, and I look forward to seeing it advance.
    7/10

    Most disappointing Dr Who ever

    The episode isn’t working for me! The opening credit – specifically the Tardis-doors-opening-to-reveal-the-episode part – is awful: the idea is twee and 80’s and the execution itself was from a 1995 home video editing package. The Tardis seems characterless now, quite cold, and The Doctor seems to be almost irritating in his manic attitude! The new outfit is awful, the musical director needs shooting and the whole thing seems to be trying too hard whereas before it was exciting and charming. I hope this was a one-off blip!

    Sadly mate, no 2 parters this series.

    That was not the Doctor, it turned out to be a Spoonhead.

    Great start to the new series. Matt and Jenna were amazing, Celia Imrie was great as well. Bring on next week.

    Actually, it was the Great Intelligence, just using his face to communicate with that woman.

    Loved the 70s credits although it should have been a two parter

    So many brilliant things about this episode: the book by Amelia Williams, The Doctor epically riding up the shard and that nice twist with the Great Intelligence which I wasn’t expecting!

    I laughed when I saw the Doctor [or rather a Spoonhead] ride up the Shard ๐Ÿ˜€
