My first Doctor was Christopher Eccleston and already when I started to watch I had read somewhere that in the next season some guy named David Tennant would take over
( ... )
Now you managed to confuse me as well LOL Under which bed exactly? There were several in this episode. The one in the children's home? The thing that later sat ON the bed under the blanket? I guess the logical explanation should be that it was indeed just a child playing a trick, but there is a little bit doubt
( ... )
The entire basis of the episode was the Doctor searching for 'something' that is brilliant at hiding. We see several examples of this 'hiding' thing - the people with dreams of something under the bed, the writing on the board, the children's home and then the knocking on the door in the future.
That aspect - as to what 'it' is, the thing in people's dreams, the hand under the bed, the knocking, the chalk was not resolved in the episode.
The ending implied that it had something to with the Doctor and his childhood, and either left the door open for future episodes OR just didn't bother to explain it all.
Every time I try to decide which doctor is my favourite I keep changing my mind :p but at this moment I'd have to say... #3 Jon Pertwee, #4 Tom Baker, and #10 David Tennant. Ask me tomorrow and my answer might be totally different ;) (#9 looked rather tasty in that leather coat...) I rather didn't get that last ep. either! So the monster under the bed was, I dunno... a tulpa?! Something that the doctor had experienced with the hand under the bed and that time and imagination had translated to children everywhere but didn't really exist? *shakes head* I have no idea. And what was with that last bit with Clara? How did she know that the barn that she was in was the one where the doctor(s) would wind up in at some point? (And, as a side note, I'm not so sure that I'm loving the Dan/Clara. Can't companions stand on their own and not have a love interest, sheesh!)

Thanks for weighing in.
My thoughts on 8.4 or rather my questions are:
1. What in the end, actually, was under the bed? Or who?
if its supposed to be the Doctor:
2. How the heck does that work?
I will watch it again to try figure it out, but *shakes head*
