Rose's life is turned upside down when she meets a mysterious stranger who calls himself The Doctor. Before she knows it, she's involved with time travellers, living plastic creatures and a planned invasion of the Earth by the Nestene Consciousness...

CAPSULE REVIEW

Not the greatest Doctor Who ever, but a good, solid start to the new incarnation that crackles with great lines and boasts two winning performances from Eccleston and Piper. The plot may be paper thin and some of the supporting performances might be a bit shaky but this is still great fun and as good as we could expect. Try not to watch it without grinning like a loon!
