The Empty Child

I don't know how I am going to fill three paragraphs with praise for what could possibly be one of the best stories of the series and I am not just talking about the new ones! From the beginning with the rackety TARDIS being buffeted by the "bomb" to the truly spine tingling cliffhanger this was a pure joy to watch!

This story boasted a great storyline and outstanding visual effects. This makes it more and more difficult to watch the old series without cringing at every attempted "special effect" though! One of the best parts of the episode was when Doctor Constantine's face turned into a gas mask although I think that the BBC should have left the skull cracking sound in for added effect and worried about any complaints later!

The episode also rectified the problem of the controversial preview for next time seeing as this was a two parter. Even though I criticized it's presence last time I must admit I guiltily peeked at the trailer after the credits, but I dont think I was alone in doing so!

There's not much else I can say because I tire of typing out how fantastic something is! I think that this could shape up to be the best story of the new series, so I cant thank Steven Moffat enough for making such a gripping and actually scary story.
