Now that is more like it!

This is the Doctor Who I tune in to see every wee.  For the first time this season I liked The Doctor and he seemed to enjoy traveling and be having some fun. He used his wits instead of just waving the sonic screwdriver like a magic wand to fix every thing and he and Clara had some cemestry and were working well together.

They got the Robin Hood tone just right giving it bright colours and a sense of high adventure. This is the tone the Robin Hood show the BBC had a few years ago should have taken instead of the PC teen soap opera it became. This was everything I look for in a Doctor who story.

It had a fun story with good supporting character,an engaging lead actor who you want to go on the adventure with,and good Doctor companion interactions.  I know there are some flaws here and there but to tell you the truth I didn't mind because this story was such a huge improvement over the last two and it went a long way towards winning me over as a 12th Doctor fan.  I hope more episodes this year take this tone because this is what I love about Doctor who.  I would say that it is good enough that I could see it as an episode of the classic series,that is huge upswing. I am now looking forward to the rest of the season instead of just watching it out of a sense of duty because I am a long time fan so good job.

This is Doctor who the way i like it and so I am giving this episode 8.0/10.

This is an episode that I think even non fans would enjoy and if you didn't like the 12th Doctor in the first two stories as i did,this will go a long way to wining you over.  All and all a great effort and I hope this upward trend continues.
