Did I really say I was looking forward to watching this episode in my last review? The start of the episode wasn't too bad and pirates in Doctor Who could have and should have worked with a decent script. The humour is solid and some of the design work is interesting. The biggest problem with the episode is the Siren which looks goofy whenever it pops up and the child actor was particularly awful as well. Overall, the curse of the black spot is a forgettable and unimportant story that leaves a lot to be desired.
