Series 1 Episode 11: Boom Town

Boom Town was the cheapest made episode in the history of Doctor Who, and also one of the best episodes in series 1. It featured Margaret, the slitheen from episodes 4 and 5. Margaret is building a power plant 'Blarg Drygg' in Cardiff, in attempt to flee from planet earth, she becomes the mayor of Cardiff and refuses to be photographed, but eventually her plan is foiled by the Doctor. I loved the bond between Mickey, Rose, Jack and the Doctor and the fact that Mickey is still 'Mickey the Idiot' despite helping the Doctor before, in the end Margaret is restored to her childhood, which was quite a freaky moment. Overall I loved this episode, one of Russell T Davies finest ideas.

Rating: 9/10
