Penelope Wilton, John Barrowman. A loud, frantic episode jam-packed with exciting guest characters. And not much else.
The story, for example, goes nowhere. Which get very frustrating about half-way through. Self-indulgent. 7/10

Doctor Who 30.6
Georgia Moffett, Nigel Terry. Basic chase story, with a few nice ideas in the mix. Including the gimmick of our hero having a ‘daughter’.
Something which is sadly underused and leads to a very pointless ending where she dies… But then turns out to not be dead, after all. 7/10
Doctor Who 30.4
Sontarans, part one! Absolutely delighted/surprised to have Martha back. But the story is basic and moves very slowly.
Several scenes take ages to go anywhere. So when it actually gets somewhere, the audience is way ahead of it. 7/10
Doctor Who 29.13
Last of the Time Lords. Break-taking, magnificent. A huge story, that sidelines everyone and places Martha Jones front and center. And what a fantastic Companion she is! Performance-wise: Freema Agyeman and John Simm are a joy to watch, she’s the heart of the story and he’s giving a performance so big, it’s pretty much fills the universe. Remarkable achievement, this episode. As, indeed, is Doctor Who itself. 10/10
Doctor Who 29.12
John Simm. Again, there is much here to remind one of old school DW. It’s thrilling stuff, even if it’s (disappointingly) little more than a set-up for the next part.
Simm is astonishingly good as The Master, however, and Alexandra Moen is mesmerizingly sexy as his wife. 8/10
Doctor Who 29.8
Jessica Hynes . Another stunning, inventive story with heartbreak and longing in every frame. Successfully keeps the audience guessing for the first third, and delivers something clever and wonderful when it does finally let us in on The Doctor's plan to hide in 1913… as a human! The is the best Martha episode so far. She’s the POV character, here, and makes for a magnificent heroine. And the guest cast is fantastic. Particularly Hynes (who is utterly lovely as the Matron) and Thomas Sangster . 10/10
