That's the censor., Forget the censor, listen to the writers. It is a kid's show. SW might have gotten hgiher certificates this time but they are still kid's films.
And Stanley Newman might have envisaged it being semi-educational, but face facts- it never was. Dead Planet was all of FIVE episodes in...
And yes, the episode ended in a very happy way, which is unusual dor Doctor Who- as he said "Just for once, everyone lives."

I didn't get yesterdays's episode though...even though they can change the past then...it won't stay like that otherwise it will change the future. Look at Rose's dad, he knew he had to die, he knew today was the day.
But why be so happy when everyone lives, but only that one time, it can't stay like that, what's there to be happy about?
Jamie is better off dead or behind that mask, he will knew Nancy is his mummy, not sister & all the other people with masks on still exists, they already existed when the Dr & Rose came to London that time didn't they?
This is something about Dr Who I do not get, & why does he travel about if she can't get anything out of it? Does he do it for information?

I enjoyed todays show, apart from the dancing at the end. Naff as hell.And was it me or did the Doctor lose it and suddenly go all camp in the last ten minutes?
The music does rock though. I love the start of it, that "Eeeeeeeeeeeeoooowwww" sound. I love the fact it's still very retro.

Look at next week's episode, this huge ugly thing hides in bodies...that will surely scare young ones. But it's OK for aged 12. There have been previous monsters in Dr Who, violence too.I didn't get yesterdays's episode though...even though they can change the past then...it won't stay like that otherwise it will change the future.

No, the mask people are all cured.
The point of Doctor Who is that you can change anything... ONCE. You can't go through the same thing you have experienced more than once. Rose had already experienced a life with her Dad dead and changed that- hence cock-up.
As the Doctor said, obviously it would have occurred to him to go back and save his people. But he can't- the Doctor Who rule is that you only get one bite of the apple. Even the Daleks refused to break that rule.
But the whole 'gas masks in London' thing they had never had any interaction with before, and so they could change it.
And even that, the Doctor's people considered dodgy, though he managed to convince them that it was ok to do it on altruistic grounds.

So now Jamie lives...forever, well not like that but he lives on...I wondered why he said "20 years 'till pop music you're gonna love it." if he wasn't going to be around...yeah.
Why can't he go back to his people? As he already tried to save them once but failed, after that...well we would know what would happen wouldn't we.

I am confused here also, the next episode it looks to be the future, with Weakest Link on tv & replaced by robots but...if it's the future wouldn't there be no Daleks because the last one destroyed itself a while back...?
I think we'll find that's a small twist.
Mind you, that being in 200000 AD, the Daleks must have been gone for quite some time, as Captain Jack recognises them as extinct and he's from the 51st century.
Meanwhille, yes, the Doctor can't save his people because he's already been there and done it once already.

Mind you, in the preview Jack said he recognised the Dalek ships, so either a. they haven't changed much, b. he saw them whilst time travelling, or c. the Daleks are time travelling. All three are actually possible.
What do you mean "They haven't changed much." & "He saw them whilst time travelling."? It doesn't say why the Daleks are back. But yes if they time travel also...wait...they can't if they don't exist...AH MY BRAIN HURTS!
Dr Who...Science Fiction...it's all confusing if you ask me but I do love it. You can't beat Sci Fiction.
