Cold War - Doctor Who Review

The Doctor Who News Page: Reports that the good Doctor had 5.7 million viewers in the overnight figures, the real total will come next week, with those that watched the Doctor via time shift. 

Lets Get Real:

Review: This episode was fantastic folks, part Alien, part haunted house, the Ice Warrior was clever, manipulative, a monster, a murder, but also very human in a Doctor Who kind of way.   The episode made this viewer put his hand over his eyes in some sections, seeing the Ice Warrior kill people, but left the actual ends to the mind of the viewers, quite scary for 6pm on a Saturday, YES, that is what Doctor Who should be, you never know what your are going to get, sometimes, funny/dramatic/horror, back or forward in time, perfect drama.

The Doctor was on top form, trying to get a peaceful way out, with a lot of bodies about, when he nearly touched off the self destruct button you thought it might actually happen, that is good drama, as in the film Titanic, this viewer half way hoped Jack and Rose could ditch the class troubles of the Ship when they arrived in New York, yes folks, for a few seconds this viewer forgot history.   The same with this episode, one did forget next week and the 50th Special.   Yes folks it was that good. Haunted House next week folks.   Also folks the episode had the great actor David Warner in it, let see if the viewer can connect SOS Titanic and Titanic to this episode.
