Reviews

Mary Crozier
Guardian
A chance to see the first episode of the BBC's "Dr Who" over again on Saturday before the second, turned out to accentuate that the space and time serial has fallen badly soon after getting under way.

Christopher Bahn
AV Club
There's almost as much concentrated weirdness and diverse exotic locations packed into the six episodes of this serial as there is in the rest of the first season combined.
