Dr Who. Series 6. Pt. 2 - Closing Time

The end is nigh......Matt Smith....Closing Time

The twelfth episode of Doctor Who is probably the most banter-ish episode this series, and probably my second best after, Tom McRae's The Girl Who Waited. It doesn't feature any of Moffat's "amazing" story-arcs, unless you count the last five minutes that I thoroughly enjoyed. It shows, Matt Smith, well and truly at his best, visit last year's series, The Lodger's Craig Owens, played by a very like able James Cordon. Instantly he's drawn to mysterious power failures and silver rats, darting around a department store. So instead of running off to Lake Silencio to his death, he stays and almost in the first ten minutes we see the villains of the episode, the Cybermen. I think this is a bit disappointment as normally the keep the baddies hidden from view until the climax. With loads of different mini gags, like Craig's baby, Alfie, in which the Doctor now announces he speaks, "baby" with his nickname as Stormeggedon, Dark Lord of All. Enjoyable banter with still the underlying series plotline, bad guy defeated by love. Lynda Baron has a lovely cameo as Val. Looking forward to next week.
