‘Doctor Who’ 60th Anniversary Marathon – ‘New Earth’

Hello everyone! 🙂

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

The David Tennant/Tenth Doctor era continues, as we begin Series 2 of the new ‘Doctor Who’ TV series. The first episode of Series 2 is ‘New Earth’ by Russell T. Davies, where we return to five billion years in the future from ‘The End of the World’. David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor and Billie Piper as Rose visit New New York on the planet New Earth. There, they visit a luxury hospital, run by the Sisters of Plenitude, where they discover many artificially-grown humans who have been infected with every disease. This episode also features the return of Zoë Wanamaker as Lady Cassandra as well as the Face of Boe. 🙂 Will the Doctor and Rose save the day with all the diseased humans running rampant in the hospital as well as having to deal with a lot of body-swapping caused by Lady Cassandra? 😀 ‘New Earth’ can be checked out on DVD, Blu-ray and BBC iPlayer.
