I'll give it another watch, but I didn't think so. Didn't like it much at all. Seemed like a rather bizarre cross between Doctor Who, any random period drama and Star Trek, and didn't take the best points from any of them.

The two Doctors plot twist was interesting but the Cyberman storyline felt like it was an afterthought.

I thought it watchable but not memorable.

Just finished watching it - it made a lot more sense now! It was good but it didn't feel like a special in any way. Just like a normal episode really.

Yes was definitely better. Still had kind of a RDT "hey presto repairo" ending tho.

And let's face it, it's hardly a shame to have been beaten by Wallace and Gromit, with 14.3 million, and quite possibly the largest TV audience for anything, all year.

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
My guess is that filming on RDT and DT last story's will be done in the first half of 2009 so as to Allow the new team time to settle in.before thay start shooting season 5 witch it more likely than Not to start in late september so we sould know no later than june who the new doctor is.

re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
I thought it was pretty good.
I think those "Cyber Shade" things were awful though.
And I'm not quite sure why the Cybermen needed a bunch of kids? They'd already somehow managed to build a giant robot without any child labour, so what was the point of having a bunch of kids turn some cogs at the end?

That is only partly true. The Valeyard was a distillation of the evil side of the doctor between his 12th and 13th regenerations, and was created to help the Timelords (who no longer exist in the new series as far as we know) cover up some problems they caused.
With the High Council, and the Time Lords having apparently being removed from Time (apart from the Doctor and Master), they wouldn't be arount to create the Valeyard.

Was that why he attacked his assistant at the time, Peri, just after he regenerated?
