This review contains spoilers!

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. You get a neat little teaser of the Silence, an intro to Richard Nixon in the White House and a curious phone call he receives from a little girl. With only 2 minutes to work with, you can’t ask for more than that.

Nixon lowkey giving John Kramer in this. Man's gonna tell me he wants to play a game if I'm not careful.

Transcript

[The White House]

(A telephone is ringing in the Oval Office, and a man has run to answer it.)

NIXON: Hello? Hello, this is the President. (crackles) Hello, this is the President of the United States. Who is this? Is it you again?
CHILD [OC]: Look behind you.
NIXON: How did you get this number? This is my private line. How did you get through?
CHILD [OC]: They're everwhere, all the time. We see them every day, but you have to look behind you.

(Nixon's infamous tape recorder catches all this.)

NIXON: There is nothing behind me. How did you get this number?
CHILD [OC]: The spaceman told me.
NIXON: What spaceman?
CHILD [OC]: It doesn't matter. I'm telling you about monsters. Please, you must look behind you.
NIXON: Young lady, there are no monsters in the Oval Office.
