The Idiots Lantern

What is the Hive's stance on this rather unremarkable story from the middle of the 2006 series?

I think you’ve already nailed it by describing it as unremarkable....

I remember buying the grandma with the blank face as an action figure

I liked the domestic abuse stuff in the episode too, thought that was managed quite well.

It's awful. The script is passable enough, but the direction and performances (esp Tennant) are dire.

I can remember at the time being left thinking I could happily give this show a miss from now on and not care anymore.
