Disclaimer: This Review is the exact same, as with my Review on the Episode "The Empty Child". This is because I consider this Two-Parter not only ONE Story, but also consistent in its Quality, which is why I didn't see the Need to write two separate Reviews.
Honestly, is there anything i can add to this? It’s such a perfect story, when I revisited series 1 last year in order, I was fairly bumped out by the first couple of episodes, but episodes like this make this series easily one of the best of the revival (and I say that who tends to prefer classic in many ways). This two parter is wonderful, as many pointed out Florence Hoath who played Nancy was such a good guest star in this “serial”. The Doctor and Rose might have some of their biggest dynamic in here and the addition of jack is lovely (I haven’t seen much of Torchwood yet, but this might just be my favorite use of jack so far).
The ending with 9 embracing the fact that everybody lives in such a time is just stunning, easily my favorite moment of his Doctor. For me nothing can beat “Dalek”, it’s just sooo good, but this is a very close call. Yet another showcase why Eccelston, even through he may seem like a major departure from the previous actors who played the part, still is and always will be an excellent choice. There is a lot I just love about it, really I have a hard time of thinking any negative I have with that Story, just so good!
