Rate "Silence In The Library"

The Doctor and Donna respond to a mysterious summons on his psychic paper, delivered with a "kiss." So why is the biggest library in the galaxy completely empty? Who is the little girl watching them on television? Stay out of the shadows.

From the Vashta Nerada, to the introduction of River Song, to the re-appearance of the squareness gun, time to post your thoughts about this Stephen Moffat entry into Series 4. Tell us what you thought about the first part of this two-part story.

"Silence" had a great atmosphere to it. The dead people walking around spacesuits was a very nice touch. My only issue with it was the Vashta Nerada- they were more of a concept than a moster.

This being the first time we ever saw River Song, I have to say that she didn't make that great an impression on me, at least not as great as she would make in later stories.

And what a cliffhanger to end on- seeing Donna's face on a info-statue! That was great.

Bottom line, a good story well presented, but with a monster that may have been asking a bit much from the audience. 4/5

4/5 from me. I liked River, liked the setting, the music, the guest players and the overall direction of the story. I'd love to visit such a library, minus the Vashta Nerada of course.

errr...thought it was quite good first time but didn't like it much second time round. will sit on the fence with a "3"

Hope there's no spikes on the fence barnaby. 5/5 from me. Who turned out the lights is one of the best lines in NuWho.

Gets better and better with every watch. If only the present Exec could write something as good as this.

He did. Pity it was in Sherlock rather than Who though!
