Now we have all recovered from the Nightmare in Silver, it’s time to see what the critics had to say!

The Guardian has kicked off the proceedings by describing Neil Gaiman’s script as “whimsical but effective” while SFX’s review says it was “only a partial success”. Their sentiments are shared by the Telegraph, who note it had the “Marmite effect”. The episode “failed to live up to the hype” according to the Independent although they do praise Matt Smith for his “impressive” peformance throughout.

There’s more mixed reviews over at CraveOnline and Radio Times – the first ponders over “what it could have been” as the latter describe it as “an almighty Cyber flop”. That is what they have to say -  have yours here. This episode was watched by 4.7 million.

This weekend it’s the big one: The Name of the Doctor revealed at 7pm on BBC One!
