SUMMARY

Trapped inside 10 Downing Street, The Doctor, Rose and Harriet Jones race against time to prevent the Slitheen from carrying out their plan to destroy the world. Elsewhere, Jackie and Mickey are having Slitheen problems of their own...

CAPSULE REVIEW

An improvement over the lacklustre Aliens of London with Eccleston on excellent form as The Doctor stands his ground again the Slitheen and uses his deductive powers to come up with a way to save the world again. Lightweight stuff to be sure, with a highly unbelievable climax, but still so much better than last week.
