Sonic!
Good!
Bumpy-wumpy!
Exterminate!
Next stop, the end of the world.
As I started watching this I thought how giddy people must of been watching this when it first aired, I was giddy watching it and I have seen it a fair few times now.
Straight from the off the premise of Doctor Who is set, do you want to go back in time or into the future? Plus do you want to take on silly aliens made out of stretched skin?! Rose and the Doctor head off to the very, very far future to watch the end of the World. Not that Rose had much say in it.
"I'm talking to a twig"
We are introduced to a lot of aliens, however we don't spend much time with them apart from the trees. This is actually one of my favourite parts, as the interactions between Jabe and the Doctor are great, flirting and serious. Poor Jabe!!
This episode shows how bonkers Doctor Who is. There are living, talking trees, big faces in jars, blue hosts and then there is Lady Cassandra. I wonder how the internet would of taken Lady Cassandra mentioning living as a little boy now, scrap that, it would of gone down like a shit sandwich with people calling for the show to be cancelled!! RIP Doctor Who, etc, etc.
Anyway, this was a fun episode, the stakes didn't feel particularly high, the villain was a flap of skin and lipstick after all. However, it was still terrific Doctor Who with some really great moments. Rose realising she didn't know anything about the Doctor, Rose calling her Mum, Rose talking about nobody actually seeing the Earth burnt. Don't forget "then stop wasting time, Time Lord".
"What you gonna do? Moisturise me?"
This is not an all time classic, but it did a great job at the start of the run, and gave a glimpse into what travelling with the Doctor would be like.
Once Lady Cassandra has been defeated we are treated to a spectacular goosebump inducing scene where the Doctor first talks about his people and the Time War. What is this Time War? Oh and what did that alien mention earlier in the episode? Something about Bad Wolf, maybe I should remember that.
RATING: Good!
BEST LINE: "I'm a Time Lord. I'm the last of the Time Lords."
