A heavy-handed commentary on social media culture. Davies commits fully to the satire, rather neglecting all other aspects (save for an ending that offers some unexpected substance). Giant slugs and Ricky September notwithstanding, this makes its point without offering much rewatch value.

A beautifully crafted Doctor-light episode exploring life after loss. The horror elements are effective and Ruby’s despair, hopelessness and eventual survival all feel very real. A classic, save that a rushed ending glosses over both looping mechanism and the woman’s terrifying effect.
