(Series 7,
Episodes 5-11)
Summary: Oh, Doctor
Who, how far you’ve come: from wobbly cardboard sets to colour and
extensive location filming with helicopters.
And yet, and yet, and yet. Liz spends most of the story hanging around
like a spare part, being patronised by men and hampered by her lady parts. Officious shouty men take on aliens in
frogsuits and lose their capacities when confronted by an exhibit from the
Natural History Museum. Amongst all the
bellicosity, the Doctor attempts to play peacemaker.
Watch it because: The Doctor and the Brig’s newfound
snarky bantz.
