Guys, what time is this starting? My sky is playing up and I can't find out the time and the places I am looking online are all saying different times

Grr I need to learn to tell the time. Even though you said it plain as day, I was still sure it was starting in 15 minutes!! I don't know what's up with me today

Now THAT is how you do Doctor Who. Best of the series so far by a million miles. I loved every single minute of it. Amazing! Full marks

Absolutely brilliant. Didn't think anything else this series would even come close to The Doctor's Wife, but that was right up there with it.

For me this shows exactly why we need to get rid of the interwoven, complex, season-long arc. How utterly fabulous was that? Timey-Wimey done simply-wimply and all the better for it. For a Doctor-lite episode we got a lot of Doctor and although Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill will rightly get a lot of praise, for me this show highlighted how magnificently alien Matt Smith's Doctor is. The mild curiosity at "Amy" and Rory's fury for him, the brutality of the deception at the end. We have a real actor on our hands here as the Doctor and when he is given decent material he just shines through.
The highest praise I can give Tom Macrea's script is that it wasn't far off The Doctor's Wife - and that was written by the premier fantasy writer on the planet.
A clear and present 5 and one of the standout episodes of Matt Smith's entire tenure.

Now that's what I'm talking about. Just when I start to have doubts about series 6 they go and pull that out of the bag. What a gem of an episode. Loved it from start to finish. If I could have given it a 6 I would have! Excellent

Nothing lower than a 5 so far. Not bad at all.

I gave it a 5. I thought it was excellent - funny & moving. And brilliant acting all round |

That was just brilliant. BRILLIANT! As soon as it was finished I went straight back and watched it again. I can't remember the last time I did that, if ever. For me, the only tiny miniscule niggle I had was when old Amy got a bit flirty with Rory towards the end, because it seemed a bit of a quick turnaround from her character up to and even after that point. Other than that though there wasn't a single thing I didn't love. Full marks

This and the last episode I haven't been able to watch properly because I've been at friends watching with talkative parents.
But what I did see, I loved. I need to rewatch before I rate it, but I'd expect it will get a 5.

Five from me too. This was an example of the Really Good Idea stories DW has always done so well. Interesting that there was some speculation about a link with The Mind Robber, because of the white set and white robots. It was completely unconnected, but it was precisely that kind of Very Good Idea, and brilliantly realised.
I agree with VA - up there with The Doctor's Wife.

That was fantastic. I was totally gripped from start to finish. It might be early to say without a rewatch, but I think it might just be the best episode of the season for me

Only just noticed the scores. Total run of fives so far. Very deserving, too
