It's the end of the world as we know it.....
If Rose kicked opened the door, The End of the World pushed you through it. I think this is the most brilliant episode of the this first season. It throws Rose and viewer into the mix with tons of aliens, big space stations and dire peril. And in the background is the death of the planet Earth. It's mental!
The cast of aliens are fantastic. A cavalcade of stars. We meet the mysterious Face of Boe for the first time. Jabe is a delight and you do cry when she sacrifices herself. And Lady Cassandra is a classic villain with wit and charm.
The build up to moment when the Earth explodes is frantic and when it happens, your heart breaks. The emotion in that scene goes right through you and played out so well. The closing scene of the Doctor and Rose back in modern day England cements their relationship and our love for them.
