March 2007: Enter Martha Jones

31 March 2007

Well, after a week of David Tennant on Graham Norton, John Barrowman on Charlotte Church and everyone on a Weakest Link special, it was finally time for the start of series 3.  Or, as it may become known, ‘The One with the Space Rhinos’.  A bit of a conflation of the previous two season starts – starting from the point of view of a new companion whose everyday existence is changed as a result of an encounter with the Doctor – and set in a hospital in an alien environment. Oh, and the Doctor once again gets to kiss his assistant, no, sorry, make that ‘genetic imprint’. Actually, I thought it was the best season start so far.  The villainess, an apparently sweet old lady who brings her own straw for sucking her victims’ blood is really rather chilling, and the prosthetic Judoon head is very convincing.

And yes, Martha, it IS bigger on the inside.
