Doctor Who: Year of the Pig

While the idea of a sentient pig ensconced in a beach-front hotel in pre-WWI Belgium is an interesting setup, this doesn't really seem to go anywhere. (This would, incidentally, have been written before “Aliens of London” was broadcast, so the fact that it's a pig is a coincidence). Yes, there is a story there in the end, but there's an awful lot of padding and running around for no reason before we get to it. Not actually bad, but with not a lot to recommend it, either.
