I may as well get in on the act...

Not REALLY a classic, but underrated yes. OK it was a bit whimsical eg the scribble, but it was enjoyable all the same, with some memorable lines. And I thought the dad monster in the cupboard was good.

    Well, if Love and Monsters can have one, I'm sure Fear Her can!

    Did your mother never tell you that two wrongs don't make a right? ;)

    Love & Monsters is quite good...Fear Her is more boring than watching paint dry

    Would have made a good SJA story, but for DW this is one of the few times during the new series that I felt a recurrence of that confused embarrassment I felt in the eighties, trying to equate my original Tom Baker based enthusiasm for the show with Sylvester McCoy playing the spoons.

    Never mind, I'm sure someone will appear to defend it.....yes, someone will defend it.........................is that them? Sorry, my mistake, it's a lamppost........................won't be long now, honest............................................................while we're waiting should we discuss how good Adam was as a companion??

    I'm sorry, but while I am willing to admit I enjoyed Love and monters, I cannot, no, I will not, push the bounderies of good taste to say Fear Her was an underated episode. Basically, it was beyond cr*p.

    Sorry, but there is nothing good about Love and Monsters. Not one thing.

    I didn't find Fear Her boring at all. I liked it.

    I can find good qualities in all the other 'underated' episodes, but not for this one...

    It would have been a great Sarah Jane ep, but as a doctor who ep didn't work. It was too for-children. When you watch it on UKTVgold or bit torrent in the morning, it's good, but it wasn't great when it wast at 7:15 in the evening and we had to wait all week for it.

    Had the potential to be really scary, but ended up being a tad cheesy, spectacularly cheap and with a tacked on coda to lead into the finale.

    It's the one that closely resembles a Twilight Zone called "It's a Good Life" by Jerome L. Bixby.:D

    Whilst admittedly no classic Fear Her does have some redeeming features.

    It's the only Series 2 episode (by accident or design) that replicates the Doctor/Rose vibe from Series 1.

    The Shayne Ward gag was also a nice touch.

    Not one of my favourites, to be honest. I didn't think it was overtly awful, but it just didn't grab me. Felt more like a bad episode of X-Files.

    2/5

    Regards,
