Father's Day

This is the first episode that has prompted me to write a review. Not because it is the first one that I have thought worthy for I've not been disappointed by any so far. But this is what I remember Doctor Who being like when I was growing up, full of time paradoxes and monsters.

I thought the episode was brilliantly made as always and it left me with plenty to think about when it was done but I do have a couple of nagging concerns.

First, I am now wondering if this series should be called "Rose", and not "Doctor Who", I can't remember any companion forming the central part of so many episodes, and here was no exception. I have no problem with this in general, but I am longing to discover more about this Doctor before he is no more.

Second, the whole idea of these creatures appearing to heal time doesn't really hold together and there seems to be no explanation as to why the hit and run car is now appearing outside the church.

Please don't misunderstand me. The writing in this episode, the relationships explored, and the realisation of the creatures themselves was all done brilliantly. But after the wonder has died down I'm still left wondering. Why?
