So did Elliot.

Weirdos. 
Yay!
I nearly did blubbing and everything.

That'll be the Curtis factor.
Yep!
I actually don't hate his films, Four Weddings is good. I didn't think he'd be particularly good at writing Dr Who though. But there were quite a few funny lines.
Awful. Worst of the series so far. I thought the Oxo ads Richard Curtis did were bad, but this was worse. Poorly paced. Weakly plotted. A dreary Van Gogh. A wasted Bill Nighy. Oh, and this week was the first time I started to tire of the Doctor/Amy double-act.
Still, at least it didn't have James Corden in...
Amy does this annoying thing of delivering every line with the same slight frown and pursed lips. It's getting reeeeally annoying.

Unfortunately there were no funny lines in it. I hoped that he could at least rustle up a few of them.

I don't mind a couple of his films, and there were some nice lines (as usual), but that's not enough.
I wouldn't mind if he wrote another Dr Who.
Well, noticed the feedback on here so far, and I imagine a lot of people will also hate it; but I loved it. Very different for Who, in a good way. I loved it. The only writer apart from Moffat so far this series to really hit it out of the park; and yes, I'm slightly surprised to have said that.

I've forgotten them all now, but I liked the 'my left, your right' bit.

I found a lot of it very amusing. And, oddly for Who, beautiful, sad and uplifting at the same time. Maybe I'm just getting a bit sentimental! 
"Sorry about the beard" to Nighy was amusing, and The Doctor thrashing a stick about in the first fight.
