...he is the target the Doctor needs to confide in Martha in order to stay ahead of the game, because penalty if caught is certain death. The first episode of the previous two series was a bit of a flop, so I had concerns over this episode. My concerns were quickly addressed as the story moves along at a vigorous pace. Anyone who had concerns over Freema Agyeman’s portrayal as the Doctors new traveller in time Martha had little to worry about. She ... Read review

Advantages: Great acting
Disadvantages: Some weak episodes

...first episode back in 1963, Doctor Who has wowed audiences with its capacity to create something new with extreme imagination. 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. Billie Piper played Rose, the Doctor's travelling companion through the first and second series, but at the end of the second, she and the Doctor were separated permanently when she ...

Amongst the patients is a man known only as the Doctor, and he gives Martha instructions which, although they sound preposterous, he insists will save them all.

...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 ...

Advantages: Brilliant once more
Disadvantages: Nothing really

...The third disc in the first series of the revamped Doctor Who 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, Doctor Who 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. The Episodes: The Long Game In... Read review
