New Who reviews

A glorious reunion with three Smiths, two tin dogs, and genetically modified gargoyles who are allergic to their own oil.

Scottish Kung-Fu monks, Queen Victoria, and a werewolf that isn’t a werewolf. Ok, then.

Doc and Rose see a familiar face each, and then square off against cat-nun-nurses and a horde of gross zombies

Tennant’s first proper episode as The Doctor, in which he sleeps a lot, Rose is inconsistent and aliens rock!

Rose is her own Deus Ex Machina, Jackie cashes in a dodgy favour, and we bid farewell to the 9th Doctor.

The Doc escapes from the Big Brother House, Rose knows basic arithmetics, and Captain Jack has an ass-gun.

The Doctor has dinner with the enemy, Mickey wants to cheat on his girlfriend, and no one seems to object to Cardiff Castle being demolished.

Doc has no rhythm, Jack has great taste in cocktails, and aliens can’t distinguish bio matter from plastic.

A creepy child telekinetically controls toy monkeys and makes gas masks grow out of people’s faces, and we meet Captain Jack for the first time!

Rose rescues her dead dad; Jackie is immortal; and in the end we forget that our hero is a cheating, lying, lousy husband.
