an icepick through the keyhole

It's not really fair to have two such amazing stories — and three episodes — in a row (and Steven Moffat is probably once again going to give Paul Cornell very stiff competition for the Hugo). It almost makes up for the slow start to Series Three, but it does make the earlier part of the season look lacklustre.

Carey Mulligan is extremely hot indeed. And I'm probably not alone in thinking that this could have been a very good script to introduce Sally Sparrow as a companion.
