Awesome, you’ve just seen the first of the triple - 3 amazing Dr Who stories in a row (Human Nature, Family of Blood, Blink). Can’t wait to read your thoughts on the next episodes!

This is a three-parter, spread over a month? Nooooooo! ☹

Ha, if you’ve not yet seen _Blink_ you’re in for a hell of a treat. Even to a lukewarm Doctor Who fan like me it’s an amazing slice of television - thrilling, terrifying, engrossing. The best episode of all of the recent series’ (and far, far, better than the climactic episodes for this series).

Absolutely right.  
In fact, having watched every episode 🆒 (the early ones from behind the couch as a kid :eek: ), I am confident this is the best-ever.

Yes Doctor, take Sally! But bring Martha too… 😃

And those of us who have not yet seen it and have no idea who Sally is are now screaming “thank you for the spoiler!”  
[/QUOTE]

Rest assured that you aren’t spoiled in the slightest. It’s just a character name, and it’s not like the character is called Davros or Romana. Mind you the season finale has a good bit where Rasillon wrestles with the Loch Ness Monster, and then the maggoty-things from The Green Death eat him to the soundtrack of Dee-Lites _Groove is in the Heart_.

No is right. Human Nature and Family of Blood are one two-part story, followed by Blink, which is quite possibly the best-ever one-off Doctor Who episode ever.

Ever.  
I mean it.
