DOCTOR WHO
It’s back! With David Tennant instead of Mr Annoying Christopher Ecclestone – a vast improvement to be sure. This episode was fairly rubbish though. Doctor and Rose go into the future to a huge hospital that is run by lady cat nuns (???) who are experimenting on humans (animals testing drugs on humans –do you see what they did there) and must be stopped. Meanwhile, Cassandra (oblong flat skin lady from rubbish end of the world episode last series) is back and swaps minds with Rose – this gives Billy the opportunity to rub her tits and camp it up a lot. Somehow the experimental subjects escape and stomp around like pus ridden zombies, giving everyone instant death germs (which aren’t transmitted through the air, luckily for the plot) until the Doctor magically cures them all by luring one of them into a magic shower or something. Lame or what. Then there is some nonsense with Cassandra going back in time to “get closure” and some other portentous prophecy nonsense with that big head in a tank, also from rubbish end of world episode last series. The plot is all over the place and the sound levels are really annoying, with overbearing music and muffled dialogue. It all looks pretty good though.
Next week: Queen Victoria versus Werewolves! Fight!!! Also there is a bunch of kung fu monks doing Matrix style quarterstaff fighting for some reason. Hmmmm.
