A wise man once observed that "we're all stories in the end", and this week's Doctor Who is a celebration of just how powerful those stories can be. It's also an episode that feels more magical and mythical than anything we've seen so far in Russell T Davies' pantheon of the gods era. But more importantly, it's a Doctor Who story that feels fresh and original, something that's been lacking in a series that has largely seemed content to play some of RTD's greatest hits.

In Aliens, James Cameron swaps the claustrophobic tension of Ridley Scott's original for a full-scale war movie set on a colony world.

Both of these sequels lost their way in the upscale, losing the tension and atmosphere of the originals in pursuit of bigger thrills.

For his second era, he appeared to throw all of that away, delivering experimental, format-defying episodes like 73 Yards and Dot and Bubble.

Anyone who's ever watched a special feature or attended a Doctor Who convention can attest to the tall tales often trotted out by cast and crew.

Often, it doesn't matter how much of the anecdote is true, it's about the way they're told. And yet, many of Doctor Who's tallest tales are true.
