SUMMARY
The Doctor and Rose arrive back in London in time to see an alien spacecraft
crash into the Thames, demolishing part of the Palace of Westminster
as it goes. But not everything is quite as it seems, particularly the
group of high-ranking politicians who gather to deal with the situation...
CAPSULE REVIEW
The first stumble for the new series. After the Gothic grimness of
The Unquiet Dead,
unconvincing farting aliens just don't cut the mustard. There are some
great moments - the alien ship's close encounter with the Houses of
Parliament, the alien pig, Penelope Wilton - but the pacing is all over
the place, the Slitheen monsters are pretty hopeless and there are way
too many unfunny fart gags. A disappointment.
