Dinos.... in... Spaaaaaaaace!!!

Now that's the sort of episode I like - it made sense, it wasn't solved by magic hand-waving, it didn't recycle an old villain for the umpteenth time, and it was FUN!

Totally:)

Also, the new companions were excellent! Suspect we won't see them again until we have another "the Doctor needs a lot of help" episode, unfortunately. Loved Rory's dad!

Rory's dad was Mr. Weasley, and the bad guy was Filch!

I knew the faces seemed familiar but I'm crap at recognizing people and didn't get it until someone else mentioned it.

Solomon was David Bradley; I was thinking "Gosh, he reminds me of Lord Frey in Game of Thrones", which is not surprising as on checking he played him too.

That was definitely a lot of fun - and it's rather amusing that an episode in which there are dinosaurs on a spaceship wins points for actually making sense :-)

Though a certain amount of hand waving is needed for the wave-power engines, of course...

For a while there, I thought they'd unwittingly beamed into the Doctor Who version of the hold of the GSV Sleeper Service - a person can dream, right?

Hmmm, I wonder if Moffat could convince Iain M Banks to write an episode...

New villain - and yet at the same time a good call back to old bad guys with the Silurians.

And the appearance of Mitchell and Webb as the two robots was a just a wee bit odd.

The comedy sidekick robots were a bit naff, I think, but the story as a whole worked so well I didn't mind.
