Very poor, Although the Cyberking ***** was good but perhaps should have been shown earlier? (edited out in case someone has sky plus'd it).

I was expecting so much more but it seemed to lack that sparkle.

Glad it wasnt just me that thought it was a load of rubbish, gave it the benefit of the doubt in the hope that something was going to happen, but it was crap.

a bit fur coat & no knickers really....

loads of cybermen stomping about, Dervla Kirwan (Yum) going mental, confustion over 'the Doctor' excellent location shots, DT saves the day (again)....

Maybe we're getting spoilt by having an Christmas special every year thesedays.

Slightly o/t but might you think that the most inventive the BBC can be for prime time Christmas evening is...'oh, go on, give 'em a Dr. Who special, that'll do 'em!'

Sorry, I've only had 2 cans all day, so I'm being a bit cynical - soon put a stop to all that!!

Has anyone got a TV guide they can check? I missed it and need to know if it's on again soon. The Freeview guide is a PITA to use.

I just can't take David Tennant seriously. It may be because he looks a bit like Richard Hammond.

Much prefer Tom Baker.

It's so rare that I feel anything really negative about shows I love as theres always something that redeems it but there really was precious little to hold onto in tonights.

How/Why did he end up back there?
This bloke...How/Why him?!
Dervla Kirwan...Gorgeous, superb but how/why did she become key to all this?

Maybe I missed something amongst the chattering around me but there was no backstory to properly draw you in...Thrown in at the deep end and trying to feel your way through like the Dr, but from a viewing perspective it makes no sense to do it like that.

Oh well...Another good few months till it returns I guess frown

I thought it was one of the better Christmas specials. None of them are ever as good as the series', sadly, but I thought that as far as Christmas specials go it beat most of the others.
