How lucky are we that series 6 came stacked with so many prequels? This certainly ups the standard of the TARDISODES from five years before.

With only 2 minutes to work with, you can’t ask for more than that. 15thDoctor View profile Like Liked 0 Open in new window Statistics AVG. Rating113 members 3.20 / 5 Trakt.tv AVG.
