Apparently they were going to go through more past sets but it was too costly
Also we'll see the debut of the blue peter Tardis design

The poll is there. I have just had a few unexpected drains on my time this morning.
Many thanks to the Samurai for taking up the mantle of thread-starter today!

Interesting how they got around the not HD-readiness of the set by dimming all the lighting way down. Sort of the "Star Trek: Generations" philosophy, there.
Legendary. Absolutely legendary.
I voted Above Average, and like episode 2 so close to Excellent but just misses out. I loved seeing the Tardis as a person and the interaction with the Doctor was pricess, nod to Suranne Jones who was excellent 
It was nice seeing the 9th/10th console room again
I could see myself upgrading it to Excellent once I re-watch it.

Ah, that was great - Suranne Jones more than made up for being so shit in SJA by being so fantastic here!
Lots of lovely continuity nods made the whole thing feel lovely and comfortably familiar - which reminds me - hey, a living planet, I thought I was the only one knocking off the B7 episode Trial this year. Oh, and, look, when you put a TARDIS sentience in a human body it goes crazy and dies! Who'd have thought that?! Well, five years late...
The TARDIS corridors looked more like Liberator corridors to me, but what the hell. It did seem a bit of an easy con to get rid of House, so that stops it getting a full 10, but overall this kicks the crap out of the past three episodes. Best episode since Vincent And The Doctor and confirms a lot of what many of us have felt/observed about the Doctor/TARDIS relationship for years
Some holes though - most of all who was Idris at the start? I mean it's convenient there was one normal human body on the entire planet...
Arc speculation - "the only water in the forest is the river" has to be a reference to River's death(ish) in Forest Of The Dead. Is the Doctor going to undo that somehow, perhaps as part of preventing his own death? Or is he going to be "saved" in the library or ghosted?
9/10
As for next week... Hm, clones/avatars in armour that looks rather Sontaran-derived... But the line about needing the original to keep them stable matches the Zygon duplication process better. I wonder if either species will appear?

The best episode of the series, I think. Loved the whole thing.
I thought it was the Sontarans at first and with it being a 2 parter I wonder if they are coming back since you get a big bad in these episodes. Infact on the subject of 2 parters I think the next 4 episodes are back to back 2 parters.
best line in the episode: "Did you wish *really* hard?" I nearly fell off the sofa laughing at that one...
Neil Gaiman is writing this episode and everyone seems to be looking forward to it. Wasn't this the same guy who wrote one of the more controversial episodes of Babylon 5, Day of the Dead. Perhaps I'm just not as excited as others (And I'm not really all that familiar with him to have much of an impact) but I hope the episode is better than last week. Looking forward to it mainly because it's Doctor Who.
