And now, I continue to review each and every episode of Doctor Who... from 2005! This is Aliens of London, written by Russell T Davies and the first part of the first two parter, with part two World War Three to be reviewed tomorrow! First aired on April 16...
Okay, so the week before, on the next time trailer, Big Ben, BOOM! I'm hooked! Then in the first few minutes we find out Rose has been gone for a whole year! Oh My God! Then a spaceship crashes into Big Ben, then we see all our beloved news and Blue Peter reporters, then Tosh from Torchwood with a spacepig (she's not a doctor, right? The reason she is there is because Owen was drunk - revealed in Torchwood 2.13: Exit Wounds) Then there's 10 Downing Street, Harriet Jones (yes, we know who you are!) Green things in skin suits! Oh, My, God! So much!
And Jackie is my standout character of these episodes! "A Doctor? Stitch this mate!" SLAP! Woo! Go Jackie, and now The Doctor is 900 years old, hmmm... he was almost 1000 back in the late 80's? Perhaps he's as confused as we are! Now, the thing that bugged me about this episode, was the zip. Okay, you don't see it at all, and then all of a sudden there's a great big zip on their foreheads. Oh, but I loved the whole, everyone come round the council flat, stuff. And Rose gets he own TARDIS key, and, oh, the excitement of going to 10 Downing Street! Which brings me to my new topic: Is Gordon Brown an alien?
Anyway, I loved loads of it, from the spaceship crash, to the pig, to the little kid, trying to watch Blue Peter, along with Mickey's cowardness (but, bravery) and Rose's street smarts. This episode was another enjoyable one for myself and I look forward to part 2 tomorrow. My overall rating is: 8/10
Join me tomorrow as The Time Team continues with my reviews of episodes 5&6!
