I gave this one a two, and it is one of the only stories I will speak particularly negatively about. The story was pretty awful and the special effects were some of the worst in the show's history, especially given the time and opportunities they had in comparisons to much earlier stories. I also really don't rate Mark Gatiss' acting abilities and I can't help thinking that this story could have been a lot better with just someone else in the role.

This gets a 1 from me. It was absurdly bad and I always dread having to rewatch it. Mark Gatiss should never have been allowed in front of the camera because his portrayal of Lazarus is half the problem, but the dodgy effects and rubbish story don't help either

Now and then, every once in a very long while, every day in a million days, when the wind stands fair and The Doctor comes to call, everybody lives.

I can only assume this episode was some sort of joke. Gatiss Bad! 1/5

2. Can't add much to what others have posted - feeble storyline, appalling CGI (I'll watch unconvincing men-in-rubber-suits and dodgy model shots all day but bad CGI is just like fingernails down a blackboard to me) and Mark Gatiss is only enjoyable to watch when he's playing comic grotesques in Royston Vasey - let's face it, the man just can't act!

I went with a three. There was a potentially really interesting story in there that was let down by some awful acting from Gatiss and some of the worst CGI ever seen in the show

I was voting for this and thinking of another story, so voted it a four, but it should have had a one!
