And the award for most tenuous ending to a Doctor Who story goes to...! So Prince Albert got the Koh-i-Noor diamond specially cut so that it could be popped on the floor in front of a seemingly broken telescope that would harness the light of the moon on the presumption that a werewolf would attack Queen Victoria in that location at some point in years to come. It was a premeditated trap... Sorry Russell, I don't buy it!

Other than that this is a pretty solid story. The Matrix-esque monk very well and the CGI has held up nicely. Pauline Collins is fabulous as the Queen and its a delight hearing Tennant switch between his Scottish and English accents. The amazing Euros Lynn does a good job on this one, though the shaky cam werewolf perspective shots do now look a little dated. So far its not been an amazing start for the 10th Doctor's reign but the selling points are all down to the fantastic characters.

Oh. And have we just seeded in the second ever Doctor Who spin off...?
