Aliens of London gets a bad rep from some, for a lot of undeserved reasons, IMO. AOL is a fun, fun episode. The slap, the Space Pig, god help me, even the farting. This episode keeps a good pace, and it just always keeps things fun. I really enjoyed AOL.
8/10."There's not a little boy born who wouldn't tear the world apart to save his mummy... and this little boy can." --The Doctor.
"The plastic tips at the ends of shoelaces are called Aglets. Their true purpose is sinister."--The Question.
BAD WOLF!!!

And after a while the farting gets a bit repetetive. I thought this ep was quite good with the crash landing into big ben and the pig. However in my opinion its the worst of the three 2 part stories in the season.Oh Yes the Sam is Back and hes more Sci-fied up than ever !!!!!!!!!

Farting aside, this two-parter felt more like Classic Who than any other story from s27. A cliffhanger is pretty much a requirement for anything to feel like Classic Who, so the fact that it wsa a two-parter helped, but it was also nice seeing the UNIT stuff, and the mix of fun and fear was just right.

I think everyone on the production team's agreed that this could have been much better. It was the first to be filmed and RTD (whose usually incredibly nice about everyone) has said that inexperience in the genre caused the director to make serious mistakes (encouraging the actors playing the Slitheen to camp it up for instance) and that their OWN inexperience as producers of the genre caused them to not speak up about their concerns.
They seem to have an attitude of "It happened once, and at least it happening that once means we can make sure it never happens again" about the ep.

Personally I felt that "The Christmas Invasion" is the closest thing we've been given to a classic episode. It was long enough to allow room for some of the less significant,yet important scenes where nothing much happens. It had a good old fashioned alien invasion, with some good confrontation from the doctor.

I't just at the first commercial break here, and I already spotted the reference!Spoiler:Before you met me I was a fairy princess
I caught frogs and called them prince
And made myself a queen
Before you knew me I traveled 'round the world
I slept in castles and fell in love
Because I was taught to dream
I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top
To capture tinkerbell
They were just fireflies to the untrained eye
But I could always tell
I believe in fairytales and dreamers dreams like bed sheet sails
And I believe in Peter Pan and miracles
And anything I can to get by
And fireflies...
