That's likely the first time Berwick has ever been mentioned in a televised episode of Doctor Who, so...score one for the home team. (I live ten minutes from Berwick, so this was as exciting as seeing Sheffield was to some of you.)
The Doctor was being a little bit dense in key moments of that story. It was incredibly foolish of her to be openly wielding the sonic screwdriver during a witch hunt; what else were they going to think it was other than a wand? She was a bit slow on picking up on the tree being the lock for the prison, when it had already been made pretty clear.
On the whole, however, a pretty solid episode. Nothing earth-shattering (no pun intended considering, you know, killer mud) but a perfectly acceptable pseudo-historical. Next weeks looks pretty interesting though.
