I wasn't as keen as I was on the previous eps, much like everyone else, but for different reasons. Firstly, no Luke, K9 or Mr Smith, who are my favourite characters. Secondly, there wasn't much in the way of character development. I know, I know, this is a children's series, aimed at those much younger than myself, and they won't necessarily be thinking about things such as character development, but RTD's been quoted as saying that children's TV should be the best you can make it so they'll grow up wanting more. Anyway, the lack of any 'journey' made this week's story just a little bit forgettable for me. On the other hand, I did like the ambiguity of the ending. "No such thing as ghosts" and then you see Joseph, Elizabeth and their father in the window. And I thought the toys going off in the nursery was, in Clyde's words, very freaky.

Because she was'nt scared, she sort of removed the fear. No where near SJ normal standards. 0/10.
