If you haven’t watched series 4, episode 4 of Doctor Who and don’t like having the story spoilt then read no further. OMG it was fabulous. After the ridiculously long reunion scene when the Doctor and Donna were reunited I was worried this would be more of the same. I didn’t think I could take 20 minutes of annoying slapstick humour again. My other fear was that it would be stupidly soppy. I’m very please it was short at sweet and put the power in the hands of the girls.
I like the way the Doctor was all “don’t fight over me ladies” as though he was some irresistable chick magnet and instead they turn the tables on him. Martha is engaged and Donna could care less, the ganged up on him! As charming as the doctor is, he is just so full of himself. I mean, I know it was deliberately written that way but I loved the way he was portrayed as such a dufus when Donna announced she had to go. He did a brilliant job of the slightly socially inept man jumping to all the wrong conclusions.
Only downside is that it is a two-parter and I have to wait a whole week, dammit.
