Review of Boom Town by KieranCooper

26 March 2025

2025 Rewatch

  • I've always had good fun with this story. It's a cute follow-up to the Slitheen 2-parter before, and whilst very much a filler, it is just some fun to have developing the cast a little
  • Gives us one of the best quartets of the show, 9 + Rose + Jack + Mickey, one appearing together in 1 episode, criminal
  • I love the scenes between Margaret and 9 in the restaurant; they are beautifully written, and such strong dialogue between them. Can only think in the moment how weird for other customers it must have been if they eavesdropped accidentally.
  • It's far more character-based, which I feel does ground the show a bit, considering in the past few it's been heavier with the scarier visuals and more sci-fi. great to give some variety
  • This episode has a great humour to it, I would definitely say it is the comedic episode of the series.
