I've just watched episode ten, "Random Shoes," and it was wonderful. A lot like "Love & Monsters," from Who, but with the suck turned down: very much about geek fans and every day life. The fantasy element is a great vehicle to tell Eugene's little story, and the ending is both sweet and tragic. I would haven't been extremely annoyed if Eugene had lived, but I really wanted him to, anyway, so I think by that measure, it worked. The hit/miss ratio is very low with these Cardiff/RTD shows, but when they do it right, it's impressive. So far, "Father's Day," "Girl in the Fireplace," and now "Random Shoes" have been fine episodes.
