Just watched the Xmas special. Again, it fell back way too much into the maudlin, overly-dramatic waxing poetic for my taste. There was some decent sci-fi along the way, and the Hartnell recreation was pretty amazing. The dialog was quite choppy, not sure if it was the script or the direction.

I wish the show would spend more time HAVING amazing adventures, rather than spending so much time TALKING about amazing adventures.

I also found the BBCA video player quite annoying – it refused to make the lower control bar disappear. So throughout the entire episode there was this giant bright white bar on the bottom 1/8th of the screen. Did that on every browser.
