Hide - Doctor Who Review

The Doctor Who News Page: Reports that the good Doctor had five million viewers for last night's episode, it was the second most popular drama of the night, the total with time shift watching will be out next week.

Lets Get Real:

The is episode had to fight a nice Saturday night, it was even warm, thus people took the chance to go out, lets see the ratings when we include the time shift watchers, the Doctor is about Time Travel after all folks.  The episode was a haunted house theme but with science fiction at its base, it is interesting, are ghosts really ghosts or events in time due to some dramatic nature that become time loops, interesting thought, what if you could make a connection!  In Hide the ghost was a future time travel stuck in a bubble time warp, not of our time but not totally separate, it had a nice family link, no spoilers here folks.   The guest starts, Jessica Raine Dougray Scott had great on screen chemistry, it would be nice to see them come back later on, or even in a few years take over the Tardis, as the Doctor and his Companion.

It was interesting to see that the Doctor had a dark motive for turning up at the haunted house, the haunting interested him, but it was not the real reason he turned up, he wants to know who Clara is, he wants the clever, fun, sexy minx of the first episode of the season, he wants to know how she can be in different time streams and die, but come back, even  the ALL knowing Doctor is confused by Clara, it was very to the point when Jessica Raine's character told Clara not to trust the Doctor, as he had ice in his heart.  One does really have to wonder what his Doctor will be like when Rose turns up, what will Lady Who say about Rose, the wife and the EX, also two Doctors, I know what Captain Jack would be thinking about that, you might think that I could not possible comment ( source, House of Cards ).   The show really has to go back to March, the show faces stiff competition from the major reality shows in the UK, there are lot of shallow people out there that watch this kind of car crash television, they do not have much of a life.   The Doctor is for those that need thoughtful but dramatic TV, clever you ask, well as FU said you might think that etc.
