Personally, I found this largely very bland and generic. The plot felt like it could have been interesting, with a somewhat unique core concept, but I don't think it was executed that well, and I did find myself starting to feel a little bored at points. Visually it looks excellent, but I also feel it lacks a little in identity (although the timey-wimey sequences were really good). Moreover, there are also some aspects of this story that I felt really could have done with some more explanation or depth, such as the every-ninth-word-thing, some of the time elements, and Sacha 55. However, I loved the hospital sequence near the start, and my first impressions of Belinda, the new companion, are very positive. Furthermore, the brief bit with Mrs Flood was nicely intriguing, and I also liked the musical score.

The Unqiet Dead is not one of the most memorable series 1 stories, and it's by no means the best, but that doesn't stop it from being pretty good! It remains pretty simple up until the twist, but then I feel it concludes a little too quickly. Moreover, while the visual effects in the last episode still look great today, the same can not be said of some of those in this episode.

Following Rose, The End of the World is once again an excellent story, really showcasing what the show can do with modern effects and a half-decent budget. All of the aliens are so fantastical and wonderful but, more importantly, they all look great! The same goes for the set and CGI. The story itself is good, providing some nice character moments with plenty of action.

Rose is an excellent opening episode. It wastes very little time hooking us on the action, while introducing us to a strong cast of realistic-feeling characters on the side. The Doctor is excellent, as is Rose and the rest of the characters. I was not a Doctor Who fan when this first aired, but I can imagine how it must have felt: yes, this was new and different, but it was also fun and exciting, gritty and realistic. And still Doctor Who. Everything here, from the music to the directing to the sets to the effects, I feel is working to reinforce this: still Doctor Who, just new and modern.

Project: Lazarus is a good story (or, really, pair of stories). The first is nice and emotional, and my favourite of the two, while the second is still good with some interesting concepts. The Forge is developed quite a lot from its first appearance in Project: Twighlight, and I think this is largely done well.

Project: Twilight is a relatively gritty and dark story. I enjoyed it quite a bit. There are better pieces of fiction out there, but I like the character work here. I felt that the acting was good.

Yet another kind of medicore DWM comic strip. 6 pages is just not enough to tell a complete story in the form of a comic strip. This strip has some interesting ideas but is just not long enough to explore any of them in depth. Maybe I'd emjoy it more if I was familiar with the old DWM strip that this is a prequel to. The art is nice as always.

This strip isn't particuarly good, but it's not particuarly bad. It's not at all interesting, but it's not supposed to be. It's just an introduction to Mr Ring-a-Ding, and it seems to do an alright job at that.

I found this strip to just be very confusing and odd. That is, until I read the accompanying article explaining how Beatie and the Hypnotising Cat came from a children's competition, and that the strip was partially written at a convention, taking audience suggestions. With this context, the strip is fine. It's nothing too special. The concepts are a bit odd and slightly incongruous, but, combined with some nice artwork, the strip is alright.

Run is an interesting enough idea, but it's not anything special. This strip, at just 6 pages, is very short, making it hard to go too in depth in any aspect of the story. A few extra pages may have really helped. Alas, that's not to be in the current DWM strip. Hence, the plot is comfortably mediocre. Otherwise, the art is nice.
