He's back, and so is Donna, they're brought together to help The Meep, a creature that's landed on Earth.
Fair play, you have to credit Doctor Who fans, we've all waited a long time for this, and I'm sure millions will tune in for nostalgia and curiosity, wanting to see if the show has changed.
Tennant and Tate, it's almost as though a Genie answered my wishes, and brought the two of them back to us, but the question was always going to be whether this episode was as good as the hype, everything possible has been done to rejuvenate the show.
Bonkers good fun, I really did enjoy it, it was like stepping back fifteen years. I can't say it's a classic, but it was an entertaining, action packed sci fi romp, and it was great to see so many familiar faces, and some new.
The story was decent, the character play was magical. I think there's more to come in the next few episodes.
I liked Rose, I liked the way the character was introduced and the way in which Russell handled the trans issue, no preaching.
Miriam Margolyes was a joy as The Meep, about time she featured on the show, I really liked The Meep.
Two questions I had going in, why is this incarnation of The Doctor back, and would Donna suffer coming back into contact with her old travelling companion? I exit this episode with more questions than answers, who's the boss?
Tennant, what can you say, The Doctor is back, he's lost none of the energy, none of the polish, none of the presence, great to have him back.
Donna Noble, I adore you! Tate stepped straight back in with ease, please let her return in years to come.
8/10.
