Doctor: 'I'm so glad I met you.'Rose: 'Me, too.'
That's three times in three episodes that Rose has almost died: once in the present, once in the future, and this week she almost died in the past. (Ghosts from A Christmas Carol, anyone?) So, is Rose ready to admit that life with the Doctor is simply too dangerous? Errr... not really, no. I have to say, were I a ten year old boy again, I'd have been terrified by tonight's episode. In fact, even as an adult, seeing Mrs Pearce come back from the dead, all Danny Glick eyes and mouth spewing forth blue vapour, I was still looking for a cushion to hide behind. A very macabre Dickensian tale from Mark Gatiss—quite literally in view of the fact that Dickens himself played a central role.
