The Slitheen are back! The ninth Doctor, Mickey, Jack and Rose land in 21st century Cardiff to refuel the TARDIS and encounter an old enemy, the Slitheen family! The adventure scenes are very well done, with Mickey’s character being awe-struck with what he encounters and the things that he has to do. There is some classic doctor who comedy stuck in there, which makes a great doctor who episode. One of the members of the Slitheen family, Margaret, is planning an escape route out of earth, but it will result in the destruction of the planet! Taking Margaret Home will result in her execution and the TARDIS team face some moral issues along the way. Rose and Mickey go out for a romantic night, While the Doctor takes Margaret out as a last request of hers. Margaret begs for mercy, as a public execution is a slow death. All goes wrong when the rift starts to open again, due to the extrapolator (a device Margaret got her hands on) feeding off the TARDIS engine, and the whole of Cardiff will disappear! This was all Margaret's plan, of course, and now Earth is in danger of being destroyed again. what Margaret doesn't know is that she has looked into the TARDIS' heart, and it turns her back into an egg so she can start out with a new family.
