True.
I'll be honest, when Dr Who relaunched, I was very excited (being a long term fan). Then I saw the first couple of episodes and wondered why I'd bothered. A couple of weeks later, we had two of the best stories of the series (as a whole), "Dalek" and "The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances". Dalek was quite a taught action/thriller story about the Doctor, Rose and a few other people being trapped in a massive underground bunker in Nevada with the last remaining Dalek, and the story did a good job of making the Dalek look scary (especially the way it massacres a group of armed security guards without even moving from the spot). Then, the Empty Child came along, featuring the Doctor visiting WWII London, where a seriously creepy small boy was looking for his mummy. As a story, I have not done it justice, but it actually manages to be scary in the way a lot of Horror films aren't.
