Giving this 5 out of 10 as the first half of the episode showed a lot of promise with a nicely dark build up. Also loving the new doctor, unpredictable and slightly edgy again with some dark undertones Peter Capaldi has the making to be one of thee best doctors ever.
That is all the good stuff, now for my little rant .. I am beginning to think the doctor has been relegated to being a bit part in his own show. The producers are so determined to make the companion (don't get me wrong Jenna is great) a strong character that they are forgetting the doctor is supposed to be the main element here. In the last few episodes he might as well not bothered getting out of bed for all the actual plot he played out. The shows canon is being rewritten such that Clara is the one that does all the work, thinks of most of the solutions and gets most of the best lines. If she could actually fly the Tardis they can get rid of the doctor altogether and we end up with another spin off - the Clara Oswald show.
Finally, (and this is a spoiler)
The doctor afraid of the dark??? What the flipping flip is that all about?
