I'll be honest, that wasn't my favourite episode. I didn't think it was a massive failure, but not a massive success either. It was enjoyable enough (up until the last five or ten minutes) but I don't think I'll ever watch it again. I'm not a fan of those "love conquers all" endings - they're just not my thing.
The dolls had potential to be creepy villains and the costume design for them was good, but by the time they were being fought off by big scissors and a mop, I thought they had lost any sense of danger.
There were some nice Doctor moments in it, but the ending with the song and the close-up of the Doctor's death date again almost felt like an apology: "we know this wasn't the best episode, but keep watching because we still have to resolve all that other stuff, remember?"
