What Did You Think of The Bells of Saint John?

What Did You Think of The Bells of Saint John?

The Doctor’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.

    That was okay, the opening was awful, the monk bit was unneeded, but after that, it got better. Celia Imrie was the best thing about it.

    Wasn’t the wire in a Mark Gatiss episode? he and Steven work closely together, so maybe the great intelligence and the wire haved teamed up or something along those lines.

    Nice to have a sassy, feisty, quick witted companion for a change. Very silly, banal dialouge with the typical innuedo thrown in, which is just jarring considering the rest of the banter is so childish. A non event as far as storytelling goes. Action set peices shoe-horned in for the sake of it. The newspapers were so harsh on McCoy back in the day but now this is considered BAFTA worthy stuff? I think this is because it was an old series by 1987 and now it is seen as cool.

    the old ones are the best. i am going off doctor who definitely. and plus, the spoonhead things were pointless and in my opinion too scary for that time slot.

    didn;t like it guys. the term spoonheads was only used once. the villains were meek and bad. i didn;t like the use of simeon. the end with kizlet was confusing. there wasn’t much action don’t think it was great for clara. she should’ve just gone with him at the end… why not? although i didn;t like it, it had good stucture and ties.

    exactly!

  • RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND

    March 31st, 2013 - 4:36pm

    not good guys. the story was a copy of the idiots lantern. not much action. the term ‘spoonheads’ was only used once, the villains were terrible and meek, the ending was bad and confusing. why can’t clara just go with him? they are promising too much. i don’t think it was the best start for clara mark 3 also. i am going off who. although the ep was bad, it had good links and structure.

    I wonder what the leaf is aboot ;D

  • the astronaut of death

    March 31st, 2013 - 2:52pm

    I think in the finale it will turn out that the great intelligence never gave the proper Clara back and they are just using her to find out more about the doctor

    p.s booboo on the merchandise section can you do a what figures would we like to see from the bells of st john

    Good point, Ellen, I think that she unknowingly hacked into the outside phone, and maybe her hacking skills passed onto Dalek Oswin.

    You’re right, Anonymous, I saw that too, and Big Noo, I think he looked on Clara’s computer? Just a guess.

    She’s a governess, and governesses live at the house of the family she works with usually.
