9/10
My favourite episode yet!
8 May 2006
David Tennant just gets better and better! A fantastic episode, definitely the best from this series so far. It was great to see the Doctor connect on an emotional level with someone else other than Rose. By the end I really believed in the relationship he had built with Madame de Pompadour, who was portrayed to perfection by Sophia Myles. Very cleverly written, and I love the way the Doctor is becoming more human (if that makes sense) every time we see him. As well as being visually dazzling, this episode plucked at the heartstrings on a deeper level than previous episodes have. I also thought that the enemies in this episode were some of the most frightening I've seen in the past series and this. I've never really been into sci-fi fantasy, but I am proud to admit Doctor Who has converted me! Keep it up BBC!
