I thought it was good, I guess when it comes out on dvd it will be in one continuous film so like most films you get long periods with not as much action then parts that contain more but because your looking at it as individual parts your comparing bits of it too other bits of the same story as if all sections have to contain lots of the same.
Yes It's one story called Miracle day, It's not like a series as such just a film split into episodes and will later be available to buy as the full film on dvd just as ''children of earth was''.
Oh and to avoid complaints in the UK they have cut out Gay parts that actualy also contain main storyline parts that later on in the episodes you don't fully understand parts of the story as it's been cut out in the UK. The one's shown in the US don't cut it out.
Apparently two scene have been cut - one for explicit sex (Captain Jack with a guy) and another for violence, which the BBC ahve sute despite the show going out after the watershed.
Personally, if they want to do that, they could at least show the full versions on the late night repeats (i think they go out after 11pm) Surely noone would complain then - especially if they announce a warning before hand.
I was surprised at how many Americans watch Dr Who, we went to the Biosphere 2 in the Arizona desert and, hearing our accents, our guide went into a great discussion on the best Dr Who. He was quite taken aback when I said David Tennent was the first one I'd seen!
I found it quite good actually.The thing is that it's not a new format, this choice to dedicate the whole series to one story.
As you might recall "Children of the earth" was also in this format, one story line split up in several episodes, that is if you also watched that one.
