I loved Alien on a Submarine. Such an original idea, I thought Chibnall must have come up with it!
I am a Gatissssss apologist. I love the chap, I love his passion for everything - especially HIS history of horror - and especially for Who. I even liked Idiot's Lantern (Who doesn't like the Doc standing up to an abusive husband?!) and Victory. But this was his best since The Unquiet Dead.
Loved how he didn't disrespect the originals, disappointed about the Barbie Doll wackiness that doesn't suit Smith. It worked with Tennant dropping all the stuff, such as the windup mouse, in The Doctor's Daughter as a nice little callback to Baker but here, not so much. There's also been so much speculation about David Warner's character that I'd like it just to be him wanting a throwaway role.
On the whole, three stars, some funny bits.
