Nice (and wholly new to WHO) idea.

Nothing plot wise you haven't seen a dozen times before in new who, the ending was really forced IMHO and lost the sense of doom the show had when on Mars. but Tennant made this work. I fear for the new guy, you take Tennant out of these things and the faults would really stand out. Tying it the (one of the) Dalek invasions was a nice touch, fleshing out the support characters like that is something the regular series often falls down on. B- Pretty good.
