I've just watched it off tape, and saw it as yet another very good episode. I can't believe all the stick it's been getting here!
The 45 second thing was very clever, and quite funny ![]() Strange that there were no obvious clues to the wider story, other than the kid cleaning the tag off the TARDIS. I might just have to have a closer look later on! Is it just me, or did anyone elese find the ending sad?

If they showed "My Parents are Aliens" at 7pm on a Saturday night, does anyone think it would get the ratings? RTD is an excellent writer, and a lifelong fan of the show. I have faith in him. 'My Parents are Aliens' is comedy, whereas this story showed real human emotion, and I'm sorry if that doesn't please everyone, but I think it makes the programme more realistic. Of course Jackie is going to be upset if her daughter goes missing for a year. |

I wish I could remember where I saw it, but there's a forum out there somewhere (may not have been DS) where people are speculating that Rose is the bad wolf. If I find it again I'll post a link.

After tonight, I am convinced that the Doctor did pick Rose specifically, she's not just as a random assistant who happened across his path.
When her mum asked if he could promise she (Rose) would always be safe, he couldn't do it, just looked at her. He's got something planned for her - which of the theories I'm not sure - and it'll put her at risk. |

Spoiler
Jackie seems like a bit of a slapper, who is to say that the Doctor didn't have a one night stand with Jackie in maybe a Paul McGann guise??? |

But no, tv has to jump on an (already shakey) bandwagon, so all we have is Celebrity this/ **** from Hell that - Praise be that the BBC has given us back some pure entertainment - it was LONG overdue, and let's hope it's the start of things to come. As long as the BBC keeps moving back to entertainment based shows, they will always get my licence fee! |

EDITORIAL: SORRY DOC!
When he said goodbye, The Doctor gave me a disc. He said it contained a virus that would wipe him from the internet. Thing is: I can't bring myself to use it. You see, he's off, making another decision for us, all "I'm the big bad wolf and it's way past your bedtime." Well, I don't think so. Not this time. It's enough for us all that I've got the virus. On CD. And I'm ready to use it. If he really is that dangerous. Mickey anyone seen that on the whoisdoctorwho.co.uk? |

I don't think they would make a good recurring enemy. They were entertaining as a one off, mostly because they were so overconfident that they could knock over Earth without even taking it seriously. Their whole plan was intentionally stupid. They could have nuked Earth themselves if they had any sense at all. The point was that they enjoyed trying to make fools of the humans by impersonating politicians, faking the "joke" pig-alien and trying to trick them into destroying themselves. A good recurring enemy has to be something which is of an intelectual level that The Doctor is not able to fully deal with them in one go, like the Daleks. |

Ive enjoyed the Doctor Who series up until now, but to be honest I thought tonights showing was piss poor.
The only highlight was Penelope Wilton's MP. As for Rose's mother, I just want to slap her because of her stupid voice and constant interuptions.... |
