It’s the third episode of Series 3 of the new ‘Doctor Who’ TV series – David Tennant’s second season as the Tenth Doctor. We’re returning to New New York on New Earth (last seen in the Series 2 episode ‘New Earth’). It’s time for ‘Gridlock’ by Russell T. Davies, the third of what is arguably ‘the New Earth’ or ‘the Face of Boe’ trilogy of new series ‘Doctor Who’ episodes (I prefer calling it ‘The Face of Boe’ trilogy 😀 ). In this episode, David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor and Freema Agyeman as Martha Jones visit New New York to find its Motorway in a perpetual gridlock. Can our heroes solve the mystery as to how New New York ended up in this state? This ‘Doctor Who’ episode also features the return of the crab-like Macra from ‘The Macra Terror’. There are guest stars like Travis Oliver (who now plays Chris Cwej in the Big Finish audios of ‘Doctor Who’) and there’s Ardal O’Hanlon (well-known for being in ‘Father Ted’ 😀 ). ‘Gridlock’ can be checked out on DVD, Blu-ray and BBC iPlayer.
