Colony in Space

(Series 8, Episodes 16-21)

Summary: Doctor Who gets back to what it does best – quarries in Wales…er, sorry, alien planets.  It’s the 25th Century, and sadistic commercialists in silly costumes are attempting to exploit a planet and scare off the humans trying to colonise it.  The natives aren’t happy about either party being there, but everyone’s plans are thwarted when a suspiciously motivated adjudicator arrives.  Jo explores different ways to be taken hostage, the Doctor shows off his mad combat skillz and everyone is a tiny bit Xenophobic.

Watch it because: Complex Caldwell.
