 Mark Wright of The Stage posed the question : " How on Earth do you review that ? " . Wright put the episode as " the most bonkers , delicious , audacious , brilliant , silly , exciting and scary piece of Doctor Who seen in the 45 @-@ year history of [ the ] TV series " , and described it as " Doctor Who at its most show stopping , entertaining and brilliant best . " In his review , Wright explained his love of crossover fiction and commended Davies for the direction he took Doctor Who into becoming what Wright considered to be a " small television industry " . Wright complimented the way the episode was keeping with tradition , specifically aspects such as ; " Daleks trundling around spaceships having shouty conversations with each other " ; " UNIT [ being ] as useless as ever at repelling alien marauders " , and the visual appearance of Davros . He described Bleach 's portrayal as a " halfway house between the original version as played by Michael Wisher and the more exuberant ... turn by Terry Molloy " . He also thought positively of the final scenes ; he commented that " the most flint @-@ hearted must have had a misty eye as Rose found her Time Lord again and they ran towards each other in candy box slow @-@ mo " and he cheered when the " outpouring of romance was brought to an end , as it should be in Doctor Who , by a big Dalek gun " .
