The Power of Three - Doctor Who Review



Doctor Who News Page:  Reports that the good Doctor was the top Drama of the day on BBC 1, the episode had 5.49 million views ( the overnight ratings ).

Lets Get Real: 

The threat in this episode was a plot device to look at how Amy and Rory deal with their real lives when not travelling with the Doctor, how the Doctor can not let them go, one should  never have the Doctor as a house guest, he will drive you bonkers.   It was great to see the Doctor doing domestic and going up the wall, painting the fence, doing the garden, playing tennis via the net, and of course his football skills.   The black boxes were fun, shows how humans can get used to most things, well the British can, even Lord Sugar used them, someone got fired, that was fun.  Also it was a nod  to have Jemma Redgrave play the daughter of the Brig, nice to see UNIT back under the control of a Stewart.   It was good to see Brian, father of Rory ask the real tough question of the Doctor, what happened to other companions, some left, some got left behind, some died.   Thus of course next week folks, the end of the Ponds.  A cracking episode folks, shows you how little boxes can turn you off, and also on, not sure about the science, but loved the concept.
