I enjoyed it - if I don't try to analyse it too much.
I loved 1973. If I had to spend eternity there I wouldn't mind too much. I think.
However, I did like the other idea the writers had, which they rejected, where Sam discovered that Planet Earth had been destroyed and Aliens had attempted to rebuild it but only had material from 1973 to use as a blueprint.
But RTD could learn much from this series about depth and quality. (Sorry JK, had to get that in). |

There was a substantial plot lift from "A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH"-Frank Morgan being the surgeon and and Tyler's boss in 1973, but the writers here cleverly inverted their ending suggesting that ' Heaven' the afterlife, in this case 1973, was preferable to living or rather existing in 2007.
Good intelligent dramas with well defined characters are as rare as hens' teeth. 9/10. |

Didn't like it.
Too clever and metaphysical.
Mind you, Bowie's music was always wonderful.
But not enough Gene Hunt (the comic creation of the decade) and too much of the is he... isn't he... will he... won't he...
Some great bits as always but overall unsatisfactory.
Still, at least he did get to kiss her. |

I hear all the characters will be back in a different format and setting before too long. |

I have a suspicion that tonight's climax and the plot of the wonderful "A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH", the Powell and Pressburger wartime classic, may be related.
We shall see.... |
