Episode 4 of new new Doctor Who was great (as it should be coming from the best writer, featuring a great "new Who" monster and a great recurring side-character). The pre-titles sequence featuring River Song escaping from a space ship and leaving a message for The Doctor across time, was one of the best they`ve done I think. And the comedy element was perfect - it all came from the characters rather than resorting to silly slapstick style stuff which was more common in the RTD era (who long ago that feels!)
It`s just a shame that some idiot at the BBC added a stupid "coming next" animated graphic over the picture during the climactic scene. The BBC spend god knows how much on each episode with top quality effects work, then ruin their flagship show with a shitty cartoon Graham Norton poncing around. I predict there`s going to be lots of complaints.
