If you start your thoughts by saying 'I really want to like this series of Dr Who' then do you think that kind of suggests that something isn't working as well as it should?
This Saturday was more like the sort of Dr Who that we're used to and it was definitely the best episode of the three that we've had in this series so that's a real plus for us.
But Dan failed to be scared by the monster (his personal point of view was that there's nothing very scary about someone singing, thereby proving he hasn't listened to his Mum when she's got James Blunt on in the car), although he did admit that he didn't like her very much when she went red and looked angry.
I thought that there loads of great touches: walking the plank, Amy in costume with sword at the ready, their arrival on the boat and Matt Smith's surprise when Captain Hugh worked out how to drive the tardis (because all ships are the same really).
But I'm pretty sure that we lost a pirate at some point (the one who had to stay with them in the room?) and the Captain Hugh didn't seem hugely bloodthirsty. So overall, I'm just not sure.
It was a fun episode and that will have to do for me, for now!
