Doctor Who | Reaction | 4x10 | Midnight | We Watch Who 

And so the Doctor comes face to face with his most unstoppable, undefeatable opponent yet: Inherent Human weakness.

I just really REALLY love how The Midnight Entity used The Doctor's biggest strength, his voice and charisma, against him

When that woman said "I knew it was her", I wanted to smack her across the face so bad.

I also have to applaud each and every member of the cast in this episode. They all gave amazing, top notch performances. It takes a lot of talent to carry an episode like this. The episode is carried entirely by the strength of the dialogue and tremendous acting. There are no special effects or very many action sequences to fall back on. David Tennant is particularly brilliant here, my second favourite performance from him in the role. My #1 is coming up fairly soon. Lesley Sharp (Midnight entity) is the true star of this episode though. She has almost no dialogue of her own. She's just repeating what the others say. She has to convey everything the Midnight entity is feeling and thinking solely through her body language and facial expressions. An unforgettable performance, one that surely ranks as one of the best ever given in the shows history. This episode is so dark and cynical. The complete opposite of most other Doctor Who episodes. What it has to say about humans is quite harrowing, this episode really isn't fun viewing. However, I think it's brilliant BECAUSE of that fact. It's not a requirement for every episode to be fun. I'd rather have an episode sacrifice that to tell a really well written story, the way I think this episode does. I think it's better to have an episode like this, rather than one that's entertaining on the surface level, but doesn't have much of real substance to offer. It was incredibly brave of RTD to attempt an episode like this on a show like Doctor Who and I think he succeeded on every level. You certainly can't have an episode like this very often, but that makes me appreciate it even more. With all that being said though, it wasn't all doom and gloom. This episode had very negative things to say about humans overall, but there was still some optimism there in the end. Dee Dee and the hostess managed to work together and figure it out at the last minute. Showing some humans are able to regain their composure and think straight, when it really counts. I think it's interesting that they were the most isolated from the group. The Hostess was accused of being a failure at her job and Dee Dee was told that she was average at best by her professor. They were the one's that were the most chastised for their differing thoughts and opinions and pressured to fall in line. In the end it was them who put a stop to the madness. Overall this episode is a superb subversion of all the normal tropes and fundamentals of Doctor Who. Easily in my top five stories, I adore it.

The really interesting thing in this one to me is how the Doctor *usually* manages to use his charisma to leverage himself into a role of authority and trust among strangers that he really has no right to. But this shows how at sea he is when that doesn't work.

David's acting in this episode is phenomenal. The pure fear in his eyes gets me every time

For me this is the scariest/freakiest episode in all of Doctor Who. It didn't have some scary looking alien or monster, but it showed how scary people can be thanks to hysteria. They completely threw logic out the window and were willing to kill someone without a second thought. All the alien did was talk. That's it. Seeing the Doctor paralyzed with fear was absolutely terrifying because usually something bad happens and he'll either make a quick joke or he'll solve the problem, but he was helpless. Easily the scariest episode in my book. I both love it and hate it because of that.

This episode is a marvel to me, how it throws out almost everything you've come to expect from a Dr Who episode and yet still tells an amazing story that feels like it fits right into the Who-verse. And for me it's just as creepy/scary as Blink, but for clearly different reasons. The end of the season is getting sooo close. Word of advice Paula, don't turn right.

Katrina's response to getting agitated: lick her lip-ring. Paula's response: do a "😱Home Alone" impression.

The Doctors strength, his voice. Turned into a weapon against him. His faith in Humanity, shaken. All his questions, unanswered. A scary monster indeed.

It's close to Midnight, and something evil's lurking in the dark.

Just think, poor Lesley Sharp had to learn everyone else's lines in addition to her own. Paula might appreciate that Russell T Davies has said that one of the inspirations for this story was the Star Trek The Next Generation episode Darmok.

"Let this planet continue to turn around it's x-tonic star in Silence."

This episode is a prime example of big ideas on a small budget. It's just one room they had to use when they didn't have a budget for a bigger episode but to make up for that, they created one of the single most mysterious and creepy monsters in the show's history. Which is in fact HEIGHTENED by the set, as the enclosed environment gives off the feelings of claustrophobia and isolation, which makes the fear increased as there is literally nowhere to escape to. They have to deal with the problem by getting to the core of themselves and, as it often is, the hearts of most men are not so formidable as we might like to believe.

This episode reminds me of 12 Angry Men with Henry Fonda.

Got to give some appreciation to Lesley Sharp for giving such a creepy performance as Ms. Silvestry and the creature. This is easily one of my favorite episodes of the series.

Just shows you that there is creatures even the Doctor doesn't know about, powerful and unpredictable. Love the end when he warns Donna not to copy him and his face is just full of dread and confusion.

"Is this a Doctor-lite episode?" Nope. A Companion-lite episode. Side note: The reason it is so easy to hate those people, is because they hold up a mirror to us! NO ONE can say with 100% certainty, if they were the same, or similar, situation our own worst instincts wouldn't rise up & take us over and cause us to act in ways that we would later be horrified by.

"I can guarantee you everything's fine." - I mean if there's one person who should know better than to say that, it's the Doctor.

7:23 Such a good shot when the hostess says ‘we should throw her out’. And the camera focuses on sky. The woman they’re talking about murdering is the one shown saying it out loud. I love the important messages about cabin crew as well. The hostess that is treated like crap by almost all the passengers and then in the end she sacrifices her own life to keep them safe.

Best episode of Ten in my opinion. This one is a treasure of great acting. The whole hysteria thing is quite well crafted. (Watch The twilight zone The monsters are due in Maple Street, its script shows mass hysteria quite well)

This is one of those stories with the classic sci-fi trope "humans are the real monsters". It's a trope with a long history in Who (classic and modern) but this is a particularly strong example. It works so well because of how we get to see the characters all transform from comfortingly familiar stereotypes (pompous professor, emo teen, etc.) into killers. The mind-power the creature has gives an excuse for it happening fast enough to be plausible within a single episode, but it's quite clear that it's only working with what's already present in those people.

I've always loved the range of guest stars in this episode. Patrick Troughton's son, Merlin, Carol Jackson from EastEnders, Dave's wife from The Full Monty and Kyla from Holby City. It's random even for Doctor Who! In the behind the scenes of this episode, Lesley Sharp (Sky) said that this was one of the hardest things she's ever had to do in her acting career because she had to learn everyone else's lines as well as her own. And in the parts where she has to say things at the same time as the Doctor, she and David Tennant spent nearly every waking hour going over their bits again and again and again, particularly the pi one. Also, for audio purposes, in the part where they're trying to throw the Doctor out, the rest of the cast had to do their "Get him out", "throw him out", etc. shouts separately while the others mimed. They were then put together in the editing process to sound as if it was all filmed as one. And whenever David wasn't in shot in that bit, they pulled a pillow along so that they wouldn't injure themselves.

The worst part is undoubtedly, when it possessed the Doctor. The sight of the Doctor sitting there unable to move, paralysed with sheer terror written all over his face might very well be one of the scariest moments in Doctor Who history. He's completely powerless, without the ability to move and more importantly, speak. The Doctor's greatest weapon was stolen, his voice was taken from him. Normally he talks his way out situations or if that doesn't work, he runs! No such luck here, he was at the mercy of the Midnight entity. The entity took advantage of his curiosity and his respect for all forms of life. It used that as a way in. It took the noble sacrifice of the hostess to save him from certain death. You can see how much it shakes the Doctor to his core that he has absolutely no idea what it was exactly that was so intent on getting him killed and had also managed to shake his belief in humans so severely because of how easily it was able to manipulate them. It's a really poignant moment, when the Doctor asked everyone what the hostess' name was and no one had an answer. No one bothered to ask her that because they were all too concerned about themselves. Why should they have asked? It was her job to take care of everything, she was the hostess after all...... smh. It really says something that the closest the Doctor has ever come to dying is at the hands of a bunch of humans..... Another great thing about this episode is the Doctor's desperate attempts to get all the humans to see sense and how that almost gets him killed. It's been well established that humans are the Doctor's favourite species. No matter all the great evils the Doctor faces like the Daleks, he always believes in humans and our capacity to do good. He always has that to fall back on, it's what keeps him fighting. Now he's been shown the worst of humans, now we're not as brilliant as he'd like to think. His belief in humans has been shattered because when we're pushed hard enough, we can turn into monsters too. This episode is also a brilliant reminder of why the Doctor needs someone by his side. It works so much better because the Doctor's without a companion. It wouldn't be quite the same if Donna were present. Normally the Doctor has back up, someone to give him credibility and act as a mediator. As we saw in this episode, why should anyone trust the Doctor? He just turns up out of the blue, assumes control and claims he can help because he's "very clever". The problem is that he has no real qualifications or credentials, even if he calls himself the Doctor. That's the other thing, he doesn't even tell anyone his real name! It also shows how arrogant the Doctor is to just presume that he's the smartest person in the room and the only one that can help. It generally always works, but it's that attitude that almost gets him killed in this episode. This episode really shows the other perspective and how the Doctor's confidence can easily be mistaken for superiority.

Lesley Sharp is one of the UK's top actresses, she was immense in this episode... Love the reactions

Fun Fact: The older actor playing Professor Hobbes is David Troughton, who is the son of Patrick Troughton who played the Second Doctor in Classic Who from 1966-1969. However, David has been in "Doctor Who" stories before. His legs had a non-credited cameo in his dad's story "The Enemy of the World", and he also played a young American Civil War soldier in his dad's final story "The War Games" when he was 19. He also had a major role as the young king of a planet in the Third Doctor (Jon Pertwee) story "Curse of Peladon". Oh, and he's also the uncle of Harry Melling (who played Dudley Dursley in the "Harry Potter" films),; and his son Sam Troughton had a major role in HBO's "Chernobyl" as one of the nuclear plant engineers in the first episode.

This is one of my favorites of Tennant's run. Devastating, and arguably the most effective villain he faced.

One of the spookiest revelations about the story is that we never see the culprit, leaving our minds wild with speculation on what it must look like.

Easily one of the best written and acted episodes of Who! But also: "Hopefully more Donna next episode, lighten in up a bit!" um... yep. super light next episode. nice and breezy. no angst or heartbreak.

Totally forgot that Merlin was in this episode...

I think if Donna had been on the Crusader, then she would of initially freaked out a little, but not as much as the others. She would of trusted the Doctor and not let anyone throw Sky out. And then, when Sky started talking ahead of him, Donna would of panicked quite a bit. The moment anyone even suggested throwing the Doctor out though, she would of started swinging. I think one of the most interesting things about this episode is the characters of Jethro and DeeDee. Both of them face constant criticism from the major authority figures in their lives, and react to it in completely different ways. Jethro slowly has his independence and free thought crushed by his parents, through means of harsh criticism and fear, until at the end, even though he clearly doesn't think it is the right thing to do, and is struggling with it, he bends to his parents will, and helps to throw the doctor out. Deedee on the other hand starts of thinking very limitedly, but over the course of the episode, changes and becomes more independent from Professor Hobbes. However, even with her newfound independence, she doesn't have the strength to oppose him in throwing out the Doctor, so just stands and reacts. I feel like Jethro and Deedee were both trying to be decent people, and were placed in an awful situation, who chose to comply with the authorities rather than make a stand. “Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing.” - John Stewart Mill

*"Do we have a deal?" & "What was her name?"* Never before have such normal sentences had such an impact on me! Damn, what a strong episode! Hard to watch but reeeally good imho!

Lesley Sharp who plays Sky is such a great actress. She pops up in all sorts of British TV and I don't think I've ever see a bad performance from her.

I like this episode for a few reasons 1, the numbers are my birthday 4/10. 2, the planet is an interesting concept an entire planet covered in diamond like material. 3, whenever she talks/repeats gives me chills, especially when she starts speaking before him. 4, when she says Allonzy is probably the best moment of the entire episode.

This is one of the episodes I show Who newbies to introduce them to the series.

I love your fun facts about this episode as I didn't know it was the 200th story, neither did I realise it's the first story since 1975 (Genesis of the Daleks with the 4th Doctor) where we never saw the TARDIS.

This episode is beautiful and terrifying.its perfect and its one of, if not,my favourite episode.

This is easily my favorite episode (at least of NewWho), I just love how intense and creepy it is. Shows you don't need special effects and CGI to make a scary story. Also, I really love that scene at the end between him and Donna. It's so rare to see him that shaken up after an adventure, and I like how she tries to help him feel better.

The episode was brilliant and I especially loved it the first time around. The biggest challenge for me on re-watch is that I see the title and get excited that "Turn Left" is coming. "Midnight" is sort of like turning 39 and being constantly reminded that 40 is coming.

Midnight...possibly the scariest Doctor Who episode. To lose an not know why, only to be surrounded by paranoid humanity...for help. This had shades of the classic Twilight episode "The monsters are due on maple street" absolutely loved it.

Has always been my favorite episode. The actress that played Skye did so much fucking work this episode. Give the woman an EGOT 😜

Its a great episode but I don't watch it much because I find it disturbing. I can understand why Donna wan't there: there's no way that mob would've come close to throwin hi out if Donna had been there.

"He has so many random gadgets in his pockets!" Clearly, Paula hasn't seen any Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker) stories at all. (Katrina knows what I'm talking about.)

I always loved this episode because it was extremely similar to an episode of The Twilight Zone called " The Monsters are Due on Maple Street", which you can find on RU-vid.

I love this one as a bottle episode. It proves the quality of the writing being terrifying without much special effects just relying on people.

I have two confessions to make in regards to this episode: 1.) I hated this episode 2.) I didnt like Donna... Then I watched the series a second time. This episode proved to me wrong about both. This episode also made me realize that of ALL of his companions, the best one to have been there after was Donna. She saw her friend was not in good shape and all she did was hug him. And that was exactly what he needed.

I had no idea that was the second Doctor's son but now I can't unsee the resemblance! It's the eyes for sure. And what do I think of this episode? It's trash! I can't believe they aired something like this on tv! Rawr! Or it's one of my favorites. Especially for one that has the Doctor in it from start to finish. We don't always get episodes like that but when we do we always want more. But the thing I love most about this is the fact that it deals with something completely outside of the Doctor's understanding and something beyond even him that can use a Time Lord as a toy to play with. That's something you never see happen. But it's even more frightening considering the last episode was him in the library saying "I'm the Doctor! Look me up!" And everything being scared of him and whatever this was HE was terrified of it!

This is one of the most highly-regarded stories ever, but it would be a terrible 'jump-on point' for a newbie, because it's so unlike any other. The only monsters in this pitch-black psychodrama have human faces. Midnight indeed! Absolutely no spoilers, but the whole run of the last six episodes in S4 is superb.

Fun review ladies. I watched it while doing an overnight shift at work. Watching at 02:00 AM added a bit of a creep factor that can't be denied. Great stuff! To see a Doctor so vulnerable was unnerving.

I have always loved this episode quite a bit. It is truly amazing. The only thing I don't like, is that it's a companionless episode in season with the BEST COMPANION, Donna. So not enough Donna. We were robbed an episode!!!! Haha

Katrina: Not only do I love this episode, I think it's one of my favorites of all time. It's surprisingly and refreshingly so uncharacteristic a Who story, not only because it's so illustrative of how rapidly a small group of humans can deteriorate from to the verge of murdering someone they were forming an initial camaraderie with, but because the Doctor is so knowledgeable an individual, both for being a Time Lord and even by comparison to possibly all of his people, yet here he is, not only without a clue but his ability to take charge and sway most people to follow him repeatedly fails and almost catrastrophically (to him). He survives due to the sacrifice of the hostess, who was herself willing to go ahead with throwing him out. And, as Paula said, the performances and scenes are just so great. Especially Leslie Sharp as Sky. But all the other actors were also great, even the characters we dislike, because they get us to dislike the characters they play, from the professor to the dad and especially the mom.

First time I've seen the episode. Reminded me of a few Twilight Zone and Outer Limits episodes from the past involving a small group. It's always nice to see a "big" budget show like "Who" or "St:TNG" do something small and contained.

For me, one of the best nuWho episodes to be made, very dark and claustrophobic and so psychological

The great thing about this episode is that the Doctor does not beat this entity. It's pure luck that he survives. And it actually scares him for real. Amazing episode. One of my favorites of the Tennant era.

One of the best "low budget" episodes or just episodes in general. So creepy and unsettling. As a kid it really upset me seeing all this happen.

this is one of the scariest Doctor Who episodes I've ever watched. The Doctor is this seemingly all-powerful, always-confident character who can get out of anything, but the thing that nearly does him in is not a scary alien or a Dalek or whatever, it's pure humanity at its worst. The idea that such a strong person can be defeated by a few scared people is terrifying.

This episode is probably the best episode in Doctor who history to me. Idunno I don't exactly have them in a list. I always come back to Don't Blink, Midnight and the Vashta Nerada story. It's so scary that all that this midnight entity does is take the Doctors charisma away and suddenly he's powerless.

One of the things I love about this episode is The Doctor uses all his usual tricks to take control of the situation and here non of them work.

You can say it is a bottle episode, but it has more of an intimate play/chamber play.

I don’t know how, but this is like the spookiest episode. Maybe because it’s creepy but never explained and the only thing it’s really about is the darkness in people, even good people, when they are scared

This episode is STRESSFUL. I rarely use block capitals, but Midnight deserves them! One of Tennant's best performances as the Doctor, and a brilliant concept. It's worthy of all the praise it's getting in the comments - but for me next week's is even better!

3:25, “fun” fact in the bottom corner to the left of the left side guys head you see a shadow creature jump down near the bottom of the screen. It’s terrifying.

One of the finest acted episodes of Who.

Spoiler free for Paula 3´ Best scenes are "Forest of the Dead" ending, when The Doctor confronts the Vashda Nerada with his legacy, and 42, when he was possesed with those eyes and had a speech about humans with Captain Mc Donald, "Eleventh Hour" ending speech on top of the roof of the hospital, "Time of the A....s" part 1 ending, when he was talkin to the villains via walkie talkies and shot a gun for a great cliffhanger, or season 6 final episode the ending, the conclusion of the whole season and the conversation with that "HEAD" in case of the oldest question (goosebumps), EVERY scene with PETER CAPALDI for sure (HE IS The Doctor, case closed) and lots more .. but i guess thtas enough for now ... in case of "Midnight" i'd say the scene when they are about to throw out The Doctor, how he looks into the camera, tears in his eyes, a despairing sad and scared face,, THE HUMANS HE ALWAYS SAVED ARE ABOUT TO KILL HIM OUT OF "FEAR" - HORRIBLE !!

Did they say.... They want more Donna next time... to lighten things up?

This is an exceptional episode. The most claustrophobic, tense and creepy episode of modern who. This episode is also a terrific exploration of the worst of human nature. These people were driven to those extreme conclusions because they were scared for their lives and hadn't got a clue of what was going on. Mob mentality and cabin fever made them paranoid to the point that they were almost driven to kill someone in cold blood! Does that make them horrible people? No, of course not. As we saw from the conversations they were having with the Doctor at the start, these people were perfectly normal, nice people. They only started to freak out once the Midnight entity attacked. Which shows how any human (especially when they're surrounded by other people) could turn into a monster, when faced with the fear of the unknown and faced with a life or death situation. It exposed humans at their weakest and most fallible. What makes this episode so creepy is how realistic the reactions of those people are. I think any of us would react in the same sort of way. There's a little bit of all those passengers in all of us. Our natural instinct is to protect ourselves, at any cost! I also love how the people started to get more scared, when the creature was SPECIFICALLY repeating THEM. So true to real life, unless it's affecting you, you're not too bothered. I guess RTD is suggesting that when the chips are down, all humans are selfish and self centered. Quite a cynical viewpoint that's not 100% correct, but not entirely untrue either. The Midnight entity is one of the greatest monster/villain (what would you call it, lol?) in Doctor Who history, that's amazing considering the fact that we never see what it is. It's never clear what it wants either, we just know that it's incredibly clever by how it's learning things about all the passengers and then using that knowledge to turn everyone against each other. Then, eventually turning everyone specifically against the Doctor because it figures out that getting rid of him is the key to getting what it wants. Whatever that is. It's so bold of RTD to reveal next to nothing about this creature. We've been conditioned to get the answers to all our questions by the end of the episode. However, this episode works better because the main threat is shrouded in so much mystery. It's also done in quite a clever way so the episode isn't unsatisfying. I also love the way it constantly and relentlessly repeats every single word that's said by anybody. RTD takes a page out of Moffat's book and makes the mundane very unsettling. How many of us have had an annoying sibling start repeating our every word? The way it's done here is so effective though. The way it never, ever falters. Always repeating every single word PERFECTLY. Clearly in an attempt to test how far it could push the humans psychologically, but also to learn more about humans along the way and absorb our speech patterns to become more like us. Then, it moved on to the next stage of the process, speaking simultaneously with everyone, which uped the WTF factor even more. Finally, it started to speak their words before they even said them. How could it possibly know what they were about to say?! Just brilliant!

I adore this episode. I think it's my favourite, especially as when first watched it i was watching Merlin and was so excited to see the actor in Dr who

this is tied for my favorite Tennant episode with End of time 1 & 2, Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead, Blink, Girl in the Fireplace & Fires of Pompeii

Its born in darkness, it feeds your fear, delights in terror, then eats your mind

This episode is inspired by a certain Star Trek TNG episode that takes place on El-Adrel IV. A Lost Moon of Poosh is mentioned in this episode, another world that disappeared this season.

Man, can't wait for next week, it's a massive left turn in the series narrative.

THE WINK AT THE END!!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

This episode gives me so much stress and adrenaline that I can only manage watching it once a year

Colin Morgan from merlin playing Jethro in this episode

love this episode. its basically a Twilight Zone Story

I felt really uncomfortable when the doctor got paralyzed and couldn't move. That's when I know shit was going to hit the fan.

One of the BEST episodes of New Who and it lets David Tennant shine. I missed Donna though (she's my favorite companion in all of New Who, then Amy, then Clara) but it doesn't detract from the quality of this episode. It's easily in my Top 5 New Who episodes of all time. Love this show, love you ladies, and always look forward to each week's episode. Off to watch your Star Trek: TNG watch and react now. Allons-y!

Midnight. Legit the scariest thing I've ever watched.

As you noted, I think it was a great character study in paranoia, mob mentality/groupthink. It was very classic *_Twilight Zone-y_* to me. In fact, it reminded me of the 1960 episode *_"The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street."_*

This is not a fav of mine - it's VERY well-written, but Doctor Who is one of the few sci-fi shows that champions humanity, and this one just completely turned that on its head. But I love seeing Colin Morgan as Jethro in his pre-Merlin days. "We've broken down! In the middle of nowhere!" (And there are, in fact, a few fanfics out there that have made Jethro a reincarnation of Merlin)

Good Reactions girls. I was just looking out my window. OOOOOOh! The weather outside is crappy. That's why I'm wearing my nappy. Sorry. Didn't mean to burst into song.

Honestly the most HORRIFYING thing about this episode when I first watched it .... I don’t remember the Hostess’s name. That question is such a poignant line and it terrifies me to think that I could so easily be one of these people no matter how I THINK i might act It gives me chills Human nature can be beautiful, but it can also be terrible

Midnight is my fifth favorite episode of modern Doctor Who, my second-favorite Tenth Doctor episode (right below Utopia), and my favorite Series 4 episode

Although I didn’t love this episode when it first aired, because it was too scary for me, it is now my favourite episode of new who. David Tennant isn’t even my favourite doctor, but in terms of how clever and terrifying this episode is, yet simple - it beats even Blink for me. 10/10

4:03 gadgets in his pocket? Time Lord pockets! Bigger on the inside!™

No big effects. No exotic locations. No massive cast. Just some great actors, one room, and the exceptional writing talent of Russell T Davies. And it's amazing.

I always supposed that due to the psychic nature of whatever made the planet like that, (hence the heavy shielding round the pool, the jumble of visual and audio effects in the bus etc.) when the Doctor closed it all down, peoples' minds were then free from distraction. All it took then was the guy in the Cab to see a flash out of the corner of his eye for the thought he had to fly round everyone else's mind. Therefore, everything that happened was a manifestation of imagination, getting worse as time went on and people made each other worse as their imaginations fed off of each other. In short, there WAS no monster. Only psychic projection. That is why every other expedition ended up dead.

Oh Midnight is one of my faves. Such a good episode, so tense!

Well, I'm not most people, but this story somehow holds the third place in my personal New Who story ranking for about four years now ;-) It's actually my dream to direct a stage adaptation in Germany, but either you need to pay for the rights (I don't think so) or change everything beyond recognition (i don't want to).

probs the best written RTD episode.

It is a brilliant episode. At this same time it’s not my favorite. I don’t tend to rewatch this episode that much. In fact is mostly on reactions that I rewatch it. It is an interesting episode where the story mostly on that transport and is a fascinating study of human nature. It can be uncomfortable watching.

Excellent episode reaction, Speaking of "Mob Mentality" you should watch Derren Brown - The Experiments: The Gameshow (Full), It is scarey how people become.

my all time fave episode of the show

Its really good, its a tad 'worthy' and sometimes feels a bit more of a show-offy writers exercise that purely plot driven, but a great change of pace thats really well acted.

David troughton appeared in doctor who before. In the 70's. The curse of peladon.

It is my favorite episode

Definitely one of my all-time favourite episodes!

I don't _like_ this episode, but it's still one of my favorites. It's not a fun episode, but it is a brilliant one.

I LOVED this episode

Midnight is literally just a episode about copycats
