164B. (1.5) World War Three

Everybody wants to rule the world...

In this first Part 2, the Doctor defeats the Slitheen, installs Harriet Jones as Prime Minister, and resolves everything with Rose's mom and Mickey. Just another day. This actually is a great piece for Jackie and Mickey, being pulled into the Doctor's world through Rose. We see the human emotion for those left behind.

This new series of Doctor Who, while being faithful to the classic series, truly sets itself apart by the amount of emotion that is layered throughout each episode. It just grabs your heart every week and brings tears to your eyes. We see the ramifications of putting his companions in peril through the effect it has on their family.

With the return to London in this story, they producers also re-cement the Britishness of Doctor Who. They have been quite cleverly and clearly ticking off the boxes and what Doctor Who is. And it's fantastic!
