Oh dear, what have they done ? If it wasn't for the brilliant film a few years ago, they might have got away with it. Casting is way off, Ma Costa and the Master particularly. They have given away plot twists far too early. It just seemed to have lost a lot of the magic in the books and the film. The sets are great, the effects, particularly the air ships are wonderful, but it just seems lacking somehow. I think I would rather read the book again without sitting through another episode. Scripting of this is awful.
