...'Cough!, Cough!'...

Warning signs from today's Radio Times:

- We get a news broadcast view of events
- "there are too many touchy-feely bits that tend to slow things down."

You have been warned!

Oh, well that's a novel twist on the old alien invasion lark, isn't it? Good to see New Who striking out for something it's not done before...

scutfink · 03 May, 2008, 07:09:10 PM

I was cooking for most of that....

Did he really save the world by setting light to the atmosphere?

Richmond Clements · 03 May, 2008, 07:10:25 PM

Well I thought that was fucking brillant!

Rob Spalding · 03 May, 2008, 07:16:06 PM

Great episode.
Loved the Valiant - has that been in it before? I don't remember it.

Next week looks interesting - Susan's mum?

ARRISARRIS · 03 May, 2008, 07:18:44 PM

...i was kinda hoping the Rutans would turn and kick Sontaran butt, maybe next time...

Bongo Jack · 03 May, 2008, 07:24:40 PM

Who knew we didn't even need sixty percent of the Earth's atmosphere? I bet all those asthmatic kids look really foolish now.

pauljholden · 03 May, 2008, 07:31:34 PM

Blimey the Drs Daughter looks hot.

- pj

scutfink · 03 May, 2008, 07:35:53 PM

...Like I said, cooking, I completely missed the Valiant...

The Master's ship from the end of last series wasn't it?

Anyone else notice that quick flash of Billie on the Tardis monitor?

Susan's mum? hmmm let's see...

WoD · 03 May, 2008, 07:36:44 PM

Yep..spotted Billie.

Good episode that and next weeks looks OK too.

House of Usher · 03 May, 2008, 07:47:40 PM

Good fun. Some good little acting moments. The squeaky little Brian Molko-alike boy genius gave a good turn.

Nit-pick: why did it take the Doctor so long to suss what the Sontarans were up to? Have they never converted another planet into a clone nursery before? If I'd understood that the bloody things fed on gas I'd've worked that out in a split second!

Now, on this new clone factory world, where are the clones gonna grow? The other clones grew in vats full of stuff. Are the new ones grown in Earth's new atmosphere going to just grow on the pavement?

Like the man once said: "where's the foetus gonna gestate - in a box?"

Roger Godpleton · 03 May, 2008, 08:00:07 PM

I only saw the last 10 minutes but it was still enough to scar my soul.

worldshown · 03 May, 2008, 08:22:40 PM

Yep, spotted Billie/Rose as well.

Laughed at the "Are you my Mummy?" bit with the gas mask too.

WoD · 03 May, 2008, 08:34:55 PM

where are the clones gonna grow

They did say lauch the 'clone pods' or something similar. I guessed they grow in these using the gas for what ever they need it for.
