Asylum of the Daleks

"Save us... save the Daleks!"

I'll try and keep the spoilers out of this, but be warned...

First impression: wow! Daleks! Daleks everywhere! Even original series machines. And the Special Weapons Dalek from Remembrance! And they have a parliament? And a prime minister no less!

Cracker of an opening episode.The regulars are great as ever. It's sad it's going to be Amy and Rory's last series but the future looks assured as Jenna-Louise Coleman makes a great first impression (in what was an amazingly well kept secret). Nicholas Briggs pulls out all the stops with the Dalek voices (and who'd have thought we'd ever hear a Dalek cry). A great script as you'd expect from Steven Moffat and  Nick Hurran's direction was amazing with the scenes with Rory wandering through the asylum very well stage and really scary too.

My only complaint - where was the dedication to Caroline John and Mary Tamm?
