1.5: 'World War Three' Review

--
And now, the review of the second half of the cliffhanger (originally aired April 23rd, 2005) that left a nation wondering, what will happen... Although, the next time trailer at the end of Aliens of London kind of ruined the cliffhanger, along with the fact that there were still another 9 episodes to the series meaning The Doctor couldn't possibly die.

Anyway, fart jokes aside, this concluding part to the first two parter of the new series is just as good as the first, with some great scenes including Jackie looking for vinegar: "Ooh! Pickled Onions!" To The Doctor offering brandy to Rose and Harriet: "Pass it to your left first" Oh, I loved it, from start to finish, yes there were slow parts, but it was still brilliant and word of advice "When you're trying to catch a guy, don't back him up against the lift!"

Anyway, Harriet Jones' bravery was brilliant, along with the intercutting scenes between the residence of the prime minister, to a council flat! Which so works! And Mickey with the baseball bat! Brilliant! Okay, the episodes have got much better over the years, yes, and I would have prefered less Earth based stories but this was still a great episode! And, the first time this aired, I missed it! I know! I couldn't believe it, but I was watching Chitty, Chitty, Bang, Bang! I know!

Anyway, overall score is the same as the last: 8/10! With excellent writing, and acting throughout. And later tonight I review 'Dalek' so stay tuned!
