Personally, I wasn't pleased. I thought the precreidts bit was excellent and I was thrilled with the cheering. Also made happy with the line about the companions breaking his heart but overall I was disappointed. The Massive Cyberman robot was a bit too much and then we have the Cybercats sort of things that were just too much for me. Also, this could be me forgetting something - but what was the deal with the visible brain on the sort of head Cyberhenchman. Add to this the fact that it took the children just a few moments of labor to set everything up - something the cybermen could have done faster without having to go through the hassel - it just felt like a somewhat forced plot devised to slowly move us away from DT's doctor and try out new versions.
It wasn't bad - love DT - but it didn't live up to the past Christmas Specials.
