Doctor Who 2006 Special Runaway Bride reviewed

8/10.



FRom Doomsday you wonder where the bride came in?



You know how, but not yet why.



Catherine Tate plays a good nag. She is a woman to meet!



Donna the Bride and the Doctor is an interesting match.



She bickers and complains until she opens the Door.



Please note in Planert of Giants, the TARDIS with doors

open in a bad idea and the Doctor could have used his screen to look

outside.



Still we see the persistence and the 'thickness' of the bride.



Back to Earth, the Doctor wonders why he missed the mark and

Donna is saying huh?! what is this box?



Still one has to remind RTD that Londoners are not that

lewd-rude.



So the Doctor goes to get money and Donna a phone call.



The next Cab the Doctor notes the assassin and

te other Assassins on the square.



The Doctor has to rescue Donna in a motorway chase.



Still the Doctor is trying to solve why Donna ended up

in the TARDIS . Questioning her at the Heliport,

Donna remembers her reception.



The Bride is 'mad' about going ahead with the reception

without her.



The Doctor takes time to research the company Donna

and her groom Lance work for and

checks the video on the disappearing Bride.



The Doctor realizes that Donna is contaminated with

huon energy and she can be traced.



The Doctor decide to check on uninvited guests and

surely enough, here come the Santa Assassins!



The Doctor remembers from last Christmas, that the

trees were the weapons of chioce; this time ist is the

bulbs.



The Doctor does neutralize the threat and finds a

signal

back into space.



Enter the real villain the Empress.



The Doctor , Lance and Donna make it back to the Torchwood owned

offices and looks for further clues. A hidden

floor is found. The Doctor then find a Torchwood label

with London Barrier and a lab with huon Energy.



Suddenly a secret passage opens,

with a hole burrowed to the middle of the Earth

(Huh anyone recalls Inferno?) and Lance is 'running'.



The villain appears and the Doctor identifies her as an

Arachnoid Empress.



Lance turns out to be the person who induced Donna with the

Huon particles and turns traitor.



So all these checmicals we are digesting, are they good for us?



Still the Doctor uses the Huon energy to protect Donna

and travels back in time with Donna. Lance is the person

the Empress want to be a key.



The Doctor and Donna finds at the center of the Earth

is another 'spider ship'.



Is this similar to the Jageroth?



Still the final battle is to be played out.



Back to Earth and the Doctor has to play it

with the foe.



The Empress gets hold of her key call Donna

and the doctor has to engage wits with the empress.

The Empresses ships as comes into London skies.



With huon energy emptied to the middle of the Earth,

Lance is fed to the 'children' and the fight is on.



The Doctor floods the children and tanks under

the order of Mr Saxon destroys the ship.



Ending is better than last year.



And RTD you mocking statement against the Star

of Bethlehem is not funny.

Doctor Who New Series 3 Epsode 1 Smith and Jones Review

7/10 .



Was the focus on the Doctor or on MArtha Jones? Tough to tell.

Semi-Dysfunctional family agreed. And the Doctor crashing into

Jones, interesting play. Still Martha getting shocked all

over while going to work. By the way, cell phones in a

hospital?? Come on!! The 2 patients is an interesting angle.



Raining upwards, all right RTD 9/10 for imagination.



Shift to moon scenes. Nice to see the Judoon,

rhino Sontaranish Police in space and then a bit.



Still chase scenes, zap'em-ups and then agains.

It is getting to be repeticious.



I like it when Martha does get in the way

and you find your villain. Countdown to

Death and the Doctor save everything in

the Hospital is back where it is.



Still the party is on, but MArtha is not interested.



The Doctor picks her up and off they go.



They need a 2-part to open the season!
