TV Review: Doctor Who Series 1 Episode 11 "Boom Town" [Emz]

So we are nearing the end of Series 1! If you could see me writing this you would know that i'm making a sad face right now, haha. anyway on with the review.

This episode brings back an old face that we would have remembered from earlier in the series.

This episode aired on the BBC on the 4th June 2005.

Here is the Synopsis:

The Doctor encounters an enemy from his past when the crew decides to take a holiday; an alien plot is behind the construction of a nuclear power plant in Cardiff.

Review:

So in this episode we see the return of Margaret the Slitheen from the first of the double episodes Aliens of London/ World War Three. It seems that she has somehow survived the explosion that destroyed Downing Street and is now the Mayor in Cardiff.

Of course as we always know the Doctor is never looking for trouble and only stopped off in Cardiff to refuel and so rose could collect her passport from Mickey.

Obviously the Doctor comes to see what has happened to Margaret once they stop for Lunch.

They go to meet her and she tries to escape, with no success due to the Doctor being "good at teleports."

Margaret clearly has an ulterior motive for being in Cardiff and is trying to destroy the earth once again. This appears to be a running theme for her. 

Mickey tells Rose he is seeing someone else, but ask her to come back to him evetually which she is unable to answer as the Rift has been ruptured.

After rupturing the rift with the extrapolater attached the the TARDIS, Margaret takes Rose hostage and the rest of the team are unable to do anything to stop it, until Margaret in bathed in white light from the Heart of the TARDIS and is turned into an egg so she can restart her life again.

The episode ends with The Doctor, Rose and Jack taking Margaret as an egg back to Raxacorofallapatorius.

io enjoyed the gags in this episode, from Jack's jokes to the teleport scene and also the way the Doctor is prepared for anything Margaret throws his way when they are out having food. 

Here are a few of my favorite quotes from this episode:

Secretary: The Lord Mayor says, Thank you for popping by. She’d love to have a chat but she’s up to her eyes in paperwork. Perhaps if you could make an appointment for next week.

The Doctor: She’s climbing out the window, isn’t she?

Secretary: Yes she is.

Jack about Rose and Mickey: Aw, sweet. Look at these two. How come I never get any of that?

The Doctor: Buy me a drink first.

Captain Jack: Such hard work.

The Doctor: But worth it.

Thats all for this review

till next time
