There was a lot in "Lux" to like...

 I like the energy of the show. Seems to be back on track
now! :)

 "Lux" apaprently got the worst BBC broadcast ratings Doctor
Who has ever had (unclear if that is ever, just the
resurrected seasons, or even the recent silly restart from
"episode 1" again). Of course, that is a little misleading
since fewer and fewer people are watching broadcast TV. Plus
"ratings" are statistically manipulated guesswork anyway and
don't actually match reality.

 They don't matter per se, but they do give an indication of
general viewing trends.
 

Supposedly lots of fans (at least those still watching) liked
the episode, but then many of them must be fools anyway since
they claim it is "unique" ... there have been other
live-action shows that have done simliar animated cross-overs
before, as well as fully animated Doctor Who episodes and
webisodes.  :-\

 I would imagine they mean "unique" for Doctor Who... as a
cartoon villain that comes out of the TV screen to interact with
people isn't usual fare for "Doctor Who" villains!
 The Doctor coming out of the TV screen to interact with fans
watching the episode isn't usual either!!!

Just two more signs that the fools in charge don't really know what "Doctor Who" actually is and don't have any sensibly fitting ideas.

I found the episode ("Lux") quite entertaining anyway, nobody
else in my house would watch it though. They pottered around
doing other things...
 I might just watch "Doctor Who" on the iPlayer or Disney+ next
Saturday during the day as the sitting room is empty once
"Doctor Who" begins now... so much for trying to do "Doctor Who"
old school with the family for this season!
