I don't see the difference quite honestly, this feels like a non-issue?

Man I Need's been on ACR for a while so isn't in line for a reset, and Golden's likely just missed the window

Today's episode was such a slog. I rolled my eyes so hard at another quiz. Jean still being angry at Zoe, the scene where she broke Freddie's necklace felt particularly bad - the writing is just wafer thin and lacks any sort of logic or consistency. I don't think I could care less who Zoe's stalker is. Just another example of nostalgia bait and returning characters not being something the show can rely on.

My point remains, let it drop x

Let's leave the conspiracy theories for outside this forum

65 Aliens of London / World War Three Series 1 Episode 4-5 Doctor: 9th Companion: Rose Tyler Also featuring: Mickey Smith, Jackie Tyler, Harriet Jones First aired: 16th and 23rd April 2005 Writer: Russell T Davies I feel like this one is a bit of a "hear me out" moment as I've seen plenty of distaste for it over the years, so hear me out...!! The Doctor takes Rose back home for a visit only to find a whole year has passed, but they don't get to rest for long before a spaceship crashes into Big Ben and lands in the River Thames. As the Doctor's taken to Downing Street as an "expert" in aliens, he, Rose and Harriet Jones (MP for Flydale North x) uncover the truth behind the acting Prime Minister. Now, let's get it out of the way, the farting is obviously a very juvenile aspect of this story and it tends to be the focal point of discussion about it, but there is so much to enjoy beyond that. The character drama is on top form, with Jackie grounding the show in reality, providing very believable reactions to Rose returning, and to learning the truth about the Doctor. Mickey being accused of murdering Rose during her absence adds another layer to the increasingly complex relationship he and Rose have, though I love the Doctor's growing respect towards Mickey by the end of the story and the manner in which he declines a trip in the TARDIS. The core storyline is rich in commentary on politicians and their true motives, and there's plenty of tension and excitement throughout both episodes, I find. It's one of the best examples of why RTD1 worked so well, packed full of character drama and likeable, realistic side characters, with memorable villains that make a statement without spelling it out. There's still another Slitheen episode to come, too...!
