Episode 1: "The Eleventh Hour" (by Steven Moffat) to be shown 3rd April 2010
Episode 2: "The Beast Below" (by Steven Moffat)
Episode 3: "Victory of the Daleks" (by Mark Gatiss)
Personally, I think Gatiss + Daleks = great episode.
Really enjoyed it but surprisingly I struggled to tune into the young Amelia's accent... being Scottish and all I shouldn't need to tune in, must have been the headphones.

Who says it's only children who want to be The Doctor :(
The 'fortune teller' style booth things were probably some sort of political statement but there didn't really seem to be much explanation for them.
Distinct feeling of 7th Doctor style this week though with the Doctor's glass of water thing almost being a channelling of Sylvester and the underlying policical feel.
It would be okay, but we've already had this kind of omen of scary things throughout the previous seasons with the whole "bad wolf" thing and the "he will knock four times" saga. I'm getting quite bored of it.

Whilst I agree with this in principle, there isn't many other ways of building up the end-of-season baddie, or pushing the over-riding story arc in an obvious way (the show is aiming for a fairly young audience don't forget). The only other way they could do it is to have the man/woman/tentacle creature appear in a few locations where The Doctor is, which would get tedious. The subtle hints to 'the silence' and cracks in the Universe is probably the better option.
