TV Review: Doctor Who Series 1 Episode 12 "Bad Wolf" [Emz]

We've almost reached the end of Series 1! Can you Believe it?!

So here we are with episode 12 'Bad Wolf.' We return to a familiar place from earlier in the series, but it has changed quite a bit and we have gone further forward in time. 

This episode originally aired on the 11th June 2005 on BBC One. This is the first part of the last two-part episodes of this series.

Here is the synopsis:

The Doctor, Rose and Capt. Jack have to fight for their lives, but the Doctor soon realizes that Armageddon is fast approaching.

Review:

So the story opens with The Doctor, Jack and Rose part of Game shows. The Doctor is part of Big Brother, Jack is on What Not To Wear (an extreme edition) and Rose is on the Weakest Link.

Once the Amnesia clears, The Doctor remembers being of the TARDIS heading back from Kyoto, Japan 1336 when there was suddenly a bright light.

They begin to realize the games are not as they seem as if voted off you are incinerated.

Rose and The doctor begin to realize that they have been planted in the game. The Doctor is booted off Big Brother but isn't disintegrated which means that someone wants The Doctor there for a reason.

The Doctor escapes the games with Lynda, who he befriended in there. Jack catches up with him and they go in search of Rose.

Rose is from a different Century to the questions she is being asked in The Weakest Link and is kept on until the end so that guy can win. The doctor and Jack think They have made it on time just for her to be disintegrated before their eyes.

Whilst this is going on The Doctor realizes they are on Satellite 5 years later than last time.

The Doctor questions The Controller on who killed Rose. At first she is is unable to answer until the Solar flare gives her a few minutes to speak.

Before The Controller is killed by her Masters, She is unable to to tell The Doctor who she is working for as she cannot say their name. Jack works out during this time that Rose is still alive and the beam is a trans-mat beam and Rose was transported elsewhere. He also discovers where the TARDIS is.

The Trans-mat beam is traced and eventually shows thousands of Dalek ships and then the Doctor gets and incoming feed from the lead Dalek ship and The doctor informs Rose he's coming to get her.

This episode was really good. there were funny bit's, where the Robots of Tinny and Susanna from What not To Wear wanted to change Jack's appearance and give him a dogs head.

But the way we finally see the reveal of Bad Wolf and coming back to somewhere they had been before was really interesting and keeps you in suspense.

Till next time
