TV Review: Doctor Who Series 1 Episode 10 "The Doctor Dances" [Emz]

Monday, 30 October 2017


So... sorry for a slight absence. but here we are with Part 2 of  The Empty Child. 

This episode is called The Doctor Dances. It first aired on the 28th May 2005 on BBC One.

Here is the synopsis:
The Child's plague is spreading throughout wartime London, and its zombie army is on the march. The Ninth Doctor and Rose form an alliance with intergalactic con man Captain Jack, but find themselves trapped in the abandoned hospital. They head to the crash site of Jack's supposed space junk and discover the ground zero for the mysterious plague.

Review:

So last time we saw the Doctor, Rose and Jack they were stuck in the Hospital surrounded by the people who had become Gas mask zombies... for the lack of a better word.

So as this episode begins, the Doctor shouts for them to go to their rooms. Of course not thinking they get trapped in the the the little boy with the Gas Mask's 'Room.' 

The Doctor and Rose work out that Jack is the reason that that people are turning into Gas Mask Zombies as the empty 'ambulance' was what The Doctor and Rose followed into the Blitz and Jack released it.

The nano-genes which healed rose in the last episode are what was in the Ambulance and it didn't know what the difference was between the mask and his skin.

The Doctor Realises that Nancy is the boys mother and not his sister and the Nano genes fix the problems that couldn't be fixed before. 

The doctor sends the Nano genes to heal all the other people affected, with some interesting side effects (a woman's leg grows back)

A the episode ends, The Doctor and Rose save Jack from sacrificing himself to save everyone from the bomb and they head off on adventures unknown.

This epiosde was the second half of the creepy episode and this one creeped me out just as much but I was glad there was a happy ending.

I loved the quote about a woman's leg growing back and Richard Wilson's character says "There is a war on, is it possible you miscounted?"

I love Doctor Who and would watch many episodes in a heart beat but this episode and The Empty Child are ones I wouldn't watch in a hurry, but never say never.

Thats all for now

Till next time
