Mark Gatiss' contribution to this season is another modern classic that shows the fun and the peril in equal shares. Rose in 1950's garb is a treat set against the backdrop of the Queen's coronation. The concept of an alien monster living inside the television is brilliant. But it's the family dynamic of young Tommy, his mum and his dad that is the heart of the story. Except for poor Mr. Magpie, no one dies and we have a happy ending.
