Bad Wolf

The Conclusion to the siries storyline ends with a bang. It has good pacing and effects. And the story is big and bolder then ever before, the siries Finale perfectly encapsulates what a Finale should be, high stakes and a great Villain to play of. Admittedly as well, Bad Wolf is one of the best arcs in Doctor who. And for it's first season out of the 13 seasons, that's quite impressive. Lynda with a 'y' was very energetic and playful, she also had great chemistry with the Doctor. This episode can be claimed as Outdated for some fans, because of the game shows, and whilst I do agree slightly, I still think Bad Wolf is an excellent episode. I rate it quite highly. And the return of the Daleks is also top-notch entertainment. They have a real risk factor to them.

Trivia
The production team originally intended to show Jack's naked buttocks on screen. The scene was shot, but the BBC's editorial policy department stepped in and vetoed it, the only time they over-ruled the production team during the 2005 series.

Goofs
The Doctor claims the Daleks are hiding themselves from sonar. But sonar relies on sound waves, which can't travel through the vacuum of space.
