A nice introduction to this spin-off which, I'll admit, I knew nothing about. I'd heard about Liz having a wife somewhere ages ago but I didn't know anything stemmed from this! So, I loved the cast, they were really on fine form in this. I love Liz as a companion a lot so this is right up my street as Cheryl Cole would say. The last 10/15 minutes lost me a little I'll admit, but the plot itself was really quite good, mysterious and surprisingly very tonally dark compared to Doctor Who! The end intrigued me a lot, as I expected this series to be a monster of the week kind of situation, but it appears not to be. Excited to continue and learn more about this obscure corner of the Whoniverse.

I enjoyed this quite a lot! The plot felt tight and mostly made sense. The characters all seemed solid and the acting was strong (which is to be expected considering how strong the cast is). I also liked how the story is directed and shot, and the score was good (Mark Ayres made it so that's not suprising). I felt that bits of it were a little messy, with the timeline being a little inconsistent between scenes or characters moving between locations in seemingly no time at all (of course, this is not the case, but I don't feel the story communicated this very well). I also felt that some bits nearer the end started to make less sense and be a little confusing. Overall, this is an enjoyable watch!

I'm surprised by how much I enjoyed that, or, well, the second half at least. The first half of the film tends to drag a bit, and I feel it could probably have been better if they cut it down to 40 minutes and focused more on the more horror aspect of the second half rather than the 30/40 mins of setup.

When they do get to that god part though, it's really good! I knew the cast were going to be fun to watch, being mostly former doctors, but the cinematography was great, especially some of the lighting at the end.

An 8/10 film brought down by messy plotting, a first half that drags, and a bit of a tonal shift with in jokes for the audience in the first half being a bit jarring compared to the ending.
