What Did You Think of The Crimson Horror?
What Did You Think of The Crimson Horror?
There’s something very odd about Mrs Gillyflower’s Sweetville 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!”
Now that the 6th episode of series 7b has aired in the UK what did you think?, was it the best episode ever or just average.

May 5th, 2013 - 1:24pmI think the Doctor got a bit “excited” when Jenny stripped and started fighting judging by the sound effects and his sonic.

cold war – 1st

May 5th, 2013 - 10:09amFab eppisode, Vastra, Jenny & Strax are sooooo much better than Rory & Amy, would love to see more of them.

May 5th, 2013 - 9:38amA town called Pontefract was mentioned in The Crimson Horror and i live right next door to it, if only they actually filmed there 🙂
Matt Smithy
May 5th, 2013 - 8:06amNOOOOOOO! They just needed ONE MORE EPISODE before the 50th to make the 50th special the 800th episode 🙁
Matt Smithy
May 5th, 2013 - 8:04amI think they are on-board so they have a reason to go to the fairground next episode, not to be full time companions or to appeal to children, how does no one see that? Obviously something will happen to them before the name of the doctor, or if not the doctor takes them back because it’s “too dangerous”. Plus the Doctor has his “no kids on the tardis” rule, so that will be interesting!

May 5th, 2013 - 2:31amBest episode of the series so far. Well done Mark Gatiss. Mrs Gillyflower and Ava were brilliant characters.
Agree with what others are saying, The Paternoster Gang really deserve there own spin off series.

May 5th, 2013 - 2:06amIt was funny, but aside from Mrs. Gillyflower and Ada, who were great, the supporting cast did nothing for me. Also, the idea of the Doctor and Clara being already captured kind of spoiled the hope for an episode revolving around Strax, Jenny, and Vastra. The ending was absolutely hilarious, definately the best part! 6/10

May 4th, 2013 - 11:24pmIf you are referring to the parallel Earth cybermen’s catchphrase ‘delete’ i doubt they will be deleted. Considering next weeks episode re-introduces the mondasian cybermen, but redesigned. They never had any of this ‘delete’ rubbish. It was ‘You will be destroyed!’ or they just simply killed without saying anything.
DOCTOR WHO ONE
May 4th, 2013 - 9:35pmGuys, guys, guys !!!!!!! be grateful those 2 kids are not like that annoying Kelsy [or whatever her name was], the chave from the pilot episode of ‘The Sarah Jane Adventures’ who sald rubbish like “You are well shaming me” as if she thought she was seriously cool and important.
DOCTOR WHO ONE
May 4th, 2013 - 9:31pmVery much enjoyed the episode. Would have been nice if the TV announcer acknowledged that this is the 100th episode of the new series since 2005 for viewers who where probably unaware of it apart from us fan’s.
Can’t believe Strax killed Misses Peel from the Avengers, damn that psychotic Potato Dwarf !! 🙁
Shocking ending thou seeing those 2 kids discovering pictures of Clara in 1973, 1983 . . . . and the Victorian Clara !! 😀

May 4th, 2013 - 9:25pmThe Kandyman could be a giant jelly baby.
Team TARDIS
May 4th, 2013 - 9:12pmMe and my brother loved this episode, everything in it was great! However the only thing that spoilt it was the preview of next weeks episode, we don’t like the addition of these new annoying children. I just think they’re trying to make Doctor Who appeal to all the ages by bringing in younger (unnecessary) characters. (fingers crossed they get deleted…)
Matt Smithy
May 4th, 2013 - 8:58pmRun you clever boy and remember, depends what you mean by “first”. I see you commented before me, but I thought it would be a good idea about 10 mins into the episode 🙂 nah its ok mate, besides, loads of people have had the idea months before both of use 😀
BadgerCo
May 4th, 2013 - 8:43pmMaybe The paternoster Gang could be the new SJA, and River and Jack could be the new Torchwood!
BadgerCo
May 4th, 2013 - 8:42pmThere’s a reason for the Children, SFX have released some teasers for next episode and it says “A big secret is hiding in plain sight. One of the kids works it out. Can you?”

May 4th, 2013 - 8:25pmcompletely agree with you, found it has been becoming a little bit childish, and sarah jane adventures type, dont want them there, but i do like the look of the cybermen next time, and that little orange parasite made me a bit sick

May 4th, 2013 - 8:22pmps – I have two children of my own so i’m allowed to be annoyed by them 😉
matparks08
May 4th, 2013 - 8:22pmLiked this episode a great deal, helped by some fabulous acting from all the cast. Did anyone else’s heart sink a bit when next weeks episode has annoying children travelling in the Tardis. Maybe they will be ‘deleted’ early on. I can hope 😉

May 4th, 2013 - 8:20pmKandyman back in new who would be amazing. I think he’d have to look a bit different though
The Silence
May 4th, 2013 - 8:16pmAnd 796th episode overall!
