Funnily enough, this might just contain SPOILERS....

They didn't mention Harry! Two series they've had and the only mention of his existence has been his photo and his name and those don't count because they included a whole load of other people too. There have been so many occasions they could have fitted it in - like when Sarah talked about old friends when Maria left, for example. And the Brig couldn't have mentioned him at all? I suppose the only comfort is that the Doctor didn't get a mention in this episode. And they haven't killed Harry off, I suppose, but frankly at this point I'll go for that and then just completely ignore that they ever said it.

OK, so that rant over with, onto the rest of the episode. I did think they overdid the sickly sweet a bit in this one. OK, so it was all a front and did they keep it up just long enough that you couldn't be sure, but I don't want to spend the whole of SJA feeling the need for a bucket, thank you very much.

But Mrs Wormwood had all the best lines! 'The battle of the costume jewellery counter.' That Wormwood and [insert Sontaran's name here] would sound like a solicitor's. I laughed about that first one for so long I missed the rest of her speech. Samantha Bond is great (although she's looking quite old these days), but I did laugh at how she had on high heels and a really tight skirt. NO wonder she got the Sontaran to do her work for her.

The Brig was amazing, of course he was. I wasn't sure at first because he didn't do that much, but he did shoot the Bane (who was clearly a Bane by that point) and he was quite cool at getting Sarah and Rani into the Black Archive. But seriously, UNIT need to do something about their naming and their storage. And about them just generally, I think. I'm having trouble working out the difference between them and Torchwood these days. Did RTD just create Torchwood because he didn't think he could use UNIT and wanted to or something?

I quite enjoyed this one, but on balance I think last series was better.
