Then suddenly there was that shocking moment of Kieth's death followed by that bizarre poetry of Sara communicating the creature and I suddenly got hooked. <br />In a way, knowing what I was in for made things far better sinse I was able to take the story at it's pace and shuttle between the two tales with no problem at all. <br />Robert is such a lovely character, a conflicted yet honourable man who tries to do the right thing even in the wrong circumstances, and even when it's hard, and I love the chemistry he has with Sara even if she is a sentient house. <br /><br />If you asked me one story which showed why I love doctor who so much, this would be an amazing example, sinse it manages to strike that amazing fault line between beautifully artistic and planely bonkers, ---- sentient house? a sea in space that eats people? and yet stays completely human. <br />A wonderful, wonderful story and one I shal doubtless hear a third time too.darkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15526681809763999806noreply@blogger.com
