Despite my intial skepticism for it, I actually quite enjoyed this episode, besides whiney Clara being whiney. It even had an Empty Child reference in it which is always fun.
The only issue I'm having is seeing comedians playing roles in episodes as it takes me out of the show, seeing Frank Skinner as the train engineer and Chris Addison at the end of The Caretaker episode. Strange considering how I enjoyed the Absorbaloff episode with Peter Kay, but I guess it's the way they're presented. A comedian playing a ridiculous monster is a much better choice than a comedian playing an engineer who can understand parts of the TARDIS.
