Watched this last night and firmly believe it is one of the best Doctor Who episodes ever. I actually jumped at some points and was on the edge of the seat.

The shop guy reminded me of many friends (and partly myself) and for those like me who thought having a t-shirt based on the easter eggs sounded like fun try here:

I've got the Doctor Who annual that has the Steve Moffat story with Sally Sparrow so will re-read that later.

Anyone think Sally might end up as a companion?

According to her blog on MySpace, Juliet McKenna agrees with you as she too thought it was pretty damned wonderful! Laughing

Needless to say, I managed to miss it and it appears that BBC 3 are no longer showing repeats ad nauseam - ho hum! Crying or Very sad

Jov, it's repeated on BBC3 on Friday 15th at 9pm

I just looked in my TV guide.

What a superb episode. I think the strength of the writing was evident because the show was carried without the Doctor or Martha. And as for the gratuitous shots of statues at the end - great!

This week's episode (with Cap'n Jack) is meant to be even better than this. Jo Whiley (Radio 1) has seen a preview and said she was cheering at the end of watching it!!!

Tk - this is the third series since it came back. I have heard that a fourth series is definitely on, but let's hope it's not the last if the standard of writing remains this high. And as for Tennant, best doctor ever? Certainly up there IMHO.

And finally I've just seen it. The whole thing was brilliant, not just the writing. Although it is one of those stories that makes me sit back and think "If I'd have written that I'd have been so damn proud" Actually made me think about statues you see in normal everyday life. Hope Im not the only one from here on in to keep one eye on them.

oh and surely a sledgehammer would have worked. Although if you were going to risk it I'd suggest safety goggles. Last thing that situation would need would be a stone chip to the eye.

I'm now officially scared of Ariel having watched this episode - anyone seen his avatar piccy lately?! Shocked
