Father's Day

What can I say! Quite possibly my favourite episode of the series so far. Its quite odd really, as I came in, having video taped the episode, when my sister tells me that it was really crap. I can see where she may have been disappointed - not a lot of explosions or conventional evil genius'. No this was RAW EMOTION!

I don't care if this is "Doctor Who" or not, this was amazing emotional television. Everything was explained as well - the fact that these creatures were able to exist was due to the destruction of Gallifrey - if the timelords were still alive they could have stopped it.

There are only one or two bad points for me really - one is the predictability that Pete Tyler had to sacrifice himself - although this may be a good point as we come closer to the inevitability of it... hmmm yes thats a good point. Right, there is only one bad point - and thats how poor the empty tardis was - I'd have preferred it if there was an infinite space within it - but with nothing there. Am I babbling?

I think Jacqui was acted superbly, as was Pete - but the real star of the show was Billie Piper as Rose - I am SO impressed by her this series its unreal - I was hesitant of her being the companion - now I know it was an inspired move!

Its very odd how the man responsible for the new series - good ol Russell T, is being overtaken by people like Shearman, Gatis, and Cornell in terms of the best writers. Just an observation, would you agree?
