Hail Hail the Gang's All Here!
This was supposed to be an odd ball episode. A filler between the last two part story and the season ending two parter. But the seeds sown in this episode resonate for years to come. Captain Jack on the Rift in Cardiff. More to come in Torchwood.
Mickey guest stars in this story and essentially owns the episode. The emotional played out between him and Rose is heart wrenching. His character development through this first season is tremendous.
The other highlight is the rapport between the Doctor and Margaret Slitheen. The dinner scene in the restaurant is classic and so well staged. Annette Badland is a wonderful villainess and a welcomed return to the series.
While this quartet only had one outing, it would have been wonderful to see a few episodes of them traveling around in the TARDIS together.
