This story was dreadful. I've never felt so bored watching doctor who. It was about a girl called Chloe Webber who was possessed by the Isolis and wanted to make a new family by drawing kids. Living things could become drawings so that meant drawings could become living things. And because chloe drew her evil dad it came alive and was tormenting her. There was some funny scenes from the doctor. Rose was very good in this she saved the day when the doctor couldn't. This gets a 2/10

A slow episode for sure, the concept of a child vanishing people by drawing them is pretty cool though. Council dude is the best part of this episode

I was expecting this to be really bad but, honestly, it was good. I like the premise and how it handles what abused children feel when they have nobody to discuss the aftermath with. Really glad I didn't have to go without seeing it forever.

I feel like it also makes Army of Ghosts/Doomsday hurt a lot more than when it was just Love and Monsters as the previous episode. This episode is really important for Rose and Ten's dynamic because it shows how codependent they are on each other.

Plus: Kel from the council is actually the greatest character to ever grace British screens.

[Dame Kelly Holmes Close]

(The bunting is out for the 2012 Olympics in the brand new Stratford housing estate, and potholes are being repaired with new tarmac. Life moves on normally.)

WOMAN: Morning.

(The young mother pushes her pram past Tom in goal and his friend Dale kicking a football on the tiny front lawn while doting Dad washes the car.)

DALE: Yes!
WOMAN: Hiya!
TOM'S DAD: All right?
