** IN CONCLUSION**
A fine start to a new series of Doctor Who adventures….
With the original TARDIS crew members from the 2005 reinvented show now gone, (Christopher Eccleston and now Billie Piper) this new series will be a totally different show indeed…
Freema Agyeman, for those people who have the earlier episode, Army of Ghost, will recognise her from that, so to bring her back from the dead and use her as the Doctors new assistant was always going to be a little bit drastic… but the reasoning behind her so called reappearance is good enough to soon forget the death of her previous character….
A new assistant was going to be difficult to introduce but I was actually quite impressed with the way Freema took to her role as Martha Jones, actually playing the part of the Doctors assistant well, almost making the viewer forget who Rose was… that is until the Doctor mentions her in one of his many deep thought flashbacks, revealing his inner feelings towards his ex companion… Martha comes across as a head strong character who instantly falls for the Doctors charm, following him round almost like a lost lamb, thus showing her more vulnerable side, especially towards the well dressed grimacing man in his dodgy trainers…
The episodes on this volume are all entertaining indeed.
Firstly, the present day London… spending time to introduce Martha Jones and her family to the viewers, (a little like the first episode with Rose)… Once the introductions are over it is simply down to business with the Doctor ability to attract trouble where ever he goes, even on a motorway of all places…
Then taking a trip back in time to tell a strange version of an unwritten tale penned by the brilliant, but portrayed here as a little arrogant and foul mouthed, Mr William Shakespeare, and the silly, but plausible reason why it was lost in history for ever and a day….
Finishing with a trip into the future, with what could be the futuristic motorway system running through the country today… 6 years to drive 10 miles is about right in the 21st century… the smog, the frustration and the utter lack of authority figures leading to a never ending but deadly trip to find a paradise that doesn't exist…
In all, it is another 135 minutes (45 minutes per episode) of good child friendly science fiction entertainment, giving some good humour injected into each episode to keep the plots alive without going over the top enough to make them daft…
* Would I recommend this…?
Yes I would… it is great fun television for all ages…
Although Piper has gone and the daft humour of Tate is nowhere to be seen Freema Agyeman really does pull out all the stops to impress the audience, doing what she set out to do with honours…
Watching these episodes I can really see this third series being as good as its predecessors, maybe with the use of more CGIs and a few more humorous plot lines than before,

The rebirth of Doctor Who in 2005 with Chrostopher Eccleston as the title role paved the way for a regeneration in the form of David Tennant.

...new Era.
*****
Doctor Who started way back in 1963, with William Hartnell playing the Doctor! And his performance must have been so strong as we as a whole are still obsessed with this gripping programme, 44 years later!
Since then, we have met 10 Doctors, and adored every one of them! This Doctor (10th) is played by the lovely David Tennant, living up-to-date adventures in his big blue box, more commonly known as a TARDIS. But the Doctor does ... ...is training to be a Doctor (of medicine) but when she goes into the hospital, she finds herself and the building itself on the moon.

Advantages: Brilliant once more Disadvantages: Nothing really
The third disc in the first series of the revamped DoctorWho has a bit of a bonus: 4 episodes instead of 3! The previous two discs had 3 episodes each. This disc gives us episodes 7-10. With only 13 episodes in the series, up to this point I had reached the halfway point pretty much in the series, and I had been hooked instantly in the first episode. My interest had not waned at all in watching these episodes.
After a 13 year break from the TV series, with only a TV movie in 1996 breaking up the gap, DoctorWho returned in 2005 with Christopher Eccleston as the Time Lord. In the first 6 episodes, he establishes a working relationship with Rose Tyler, as she becomes his travelling companion, and we meet Rose's mum, Jackie, and boyfriend Mickey. Within no time at all, it's like he never left.

Advantages: Three of the best episodes so far on one disc can't be bad Disadvantages: A bit of a weak story to start them all off
the smallest things seem very very frightening and manages to hark the show back to it's earliest incarnations when many of us used to watch from behind the sofa. This is DoctorWho as it deserves to and should be- dark, mysterious and at times the stuff of nightmares and if this is the sort of thing we can come to expect from season 5 in 2010 (the show will only appear as a series of specials next year) then I for one can hardly wait!! Moffat shows that you don't need masses of CGI, you don't need big, scary monsters that in fact just one child and a spooky voice are more than enough to send shivers and chills racing down your spine.
These last two episodes rank as two of my personal favourite from this season and along with FATHER'S DAY make this disc a must-have in any Whovian's collection!!! If you only buy one disc from the first season ...
