Yeah, I said the same in my review of the first ep, but definitely, like I said above the best parts were the quiet two handers between Bernard Cribbins and David Tennant - the bit in the second part with the "I'd be proud to be your son" moment was excellent too. I'd accuse RTD of going too weepy with the scenes and manipulating the audience with the slushy stuff, but, as you say, Bernard Cribbins was so natural and genuine in his performance it never came across that way.
