The Next Doctor

Ok, that was great, 10,000% better than last year's failure, which to be fair was only massively ruined by the utter crapness of the badguy at the end. This year we got one of the big three, the Cybermen! They were at their stompy best, they still lack the menace of their earlier era though, in the new series they're more like body guards than deadly enemies most of the time. The role of chief villain goes to Miss Hartigan who dresses with style and elegance. The 'Next Doctor' sadly isn't in fact a Doctor, he's a guy who got his memories, although in a way he kind of could be thought of as the Doctor if he acts like the Doctor. The rest of the episode is like a Dickensian social commentry on the socioeconomic policies of the era, the rich upper class are all bumbling sexist fools, the working class are not much better and the slave class are seemingly there to be used and then discarded.
