For Martha's first trip in the TARDIS, the Doctor takes her back to meet Shakespeare. Of course they quickly get embroiled in the machinations of alien witches conjuring an invasion in the Globe Theatre. Meanwhile Shakespeare flirts with Martha for the whole story and occasionally with the Doctor. This is one of the most clever scripts ever, with Shakespearean quotes laced throughout the story. The story also shows Shakespeare as a young man and as quite a genius. The final moment of Queen Elizabeth I wanting the Doctor's head is a fun tease.
