Fun. Not brilliant - the storyline was too A to B to C for that - but fun. There were a couple of things I really adored: The Doctor having an oyster card. "We have to call UNIT." (Not so much on how UNIT itself was portrayed. I rather hope that once a showrunner without a personal stake in UNIT's replacement comes onboard, it will be more like old school UNIT.) "I didn't just salute." Malcom the squeeing scientist. And I literally LOLed at "I'll just step into this police box and arrest myself."
I see they're already dropping regeneration anvils.
And heh. Something I postulated in Operation Awesome is now canon.

(Well, they Might have had a London lilt to their clicks, but you know what I mean!) Classic Who would have had them speaking English with some sort of "Alien" effect added to the soundtrack.
And I'm glad that UNIT, for once- got to meet an alien menace that Wasn't immune to bullets!
