"You're evicted...from life"
Happy twenty year anniversary to just a banger of an episode. Honestly, this is a 4 or 4.5 but I give it a 5 just because of that epic cliffhanger. The parody of reality tv shows hasn't aged a day, and the hilarity of the Ninth Doctor in the Big Brother house is great. Eccelston is fantastic, his complete horror when he learns that he is responsible for the rise of the Game Station and his quiet fury at Rose's death. Billie Piper does great work as well with her initial laughter at the ridiculous set-up turning into horror, but the real breakout star is Lynda with a y who is instantly a likable potential companion. Even the two technicians running the station have their moments. Really, it all builds toward that crescendo where the Doctor tells the Daleks he's coming for them. "No weapons, no defenses, no plan!" It's the perfect cliffhanger.
