“I don't think I'm supposed to have favourites, but this episode is as close as it gets. Euros has done such a brilliant job, making sure that everything - cast, design, camera, music, - is co-ordinated, so that the whole thing feels like an event.”
Doctor Who: Tooth & Claw
After the somewhat camp, frenzied and energetic series opener 'New Earth', the second episode of the series expounds a completely different tone and style. The Doctor and Rose encounter Queen Victoria and a genuinely frightening warewolf (which is why this episode has been given a 12 certificate). There are lots of great moments throughout, such as the recurring 'We are not amused' joke, the exciting and cryptic references to Torchwood (the impending spin-off series) and an army of sinister warrior monks. The special effects/CGI are visually stunning and impressive, and the atmosphere of this episode is seeped in darkness and tension.
