Mixed bag this week on Nu-Who. I found myself absolutely loving 90% of this episode: the claustrophobic set, the stereotyped but 3d characters, the Agatha Christie effect. However, there were bits that just totally got on my tits. I actually thought that the sci-fi elements really felt out of place and clunky which is strange for a Dr Who episode. The human-wasp thing was just annoying, and as for the psychic connection to a necklace that ignited a latent wasp inside the long lost son.... do what? Come again?
Overall it was a great story and I can't fault the actors this week. Just a shame they had a script that was full of clangers that distracted from an otherwise outstanding episode. Without the wasp I would give it 8/10. With wasp, 5/10.
