So, the season begins with a brand new Doctor. Will The tenth Doctor be as good as the ninth? Let's find out! So, when we last saw our time travelling hero, he just defeated the Daleks and saved Rose from being destroyed by the time vortex, but at a cost. He had to regenerate. All his cells changed. He was a brand new man! This new Doctor has returned to the Powell Estate on Christmas Day 2006 (A year ahead because the Doctor took Rose forward one year (Aliens of London)). The Doctor meets Jackie and Mickey but passes out directly in front of them. Meanwhile Earth is being invaded by an alien race called The Sycorax. The Tardis, along with an unconscious Doctor, Rose Mickey and old friend Harriet Jones end up being teleported on to the alien ship to try to defend Earth but they weren't very good at it. One third of the Earths population is standing on the edge of any tall building, when suddenly the Doctor wakes up, thanks to some of Jackie's tea, and starts a sword fight with the Sycorax leader. After some intense fighting, the Doctor loses his hand! But thankfully, because the Doctor is still in the 15 hour regeneration cycle, he can grow a new hand. Then when the Doctor spares the life of the leader, the Sycorax attacks him from behind. We find out that the new Doctor isn't a second chance kind of guy. The Sycorax ship is sent back into space, but (SPOILERS) the mysterious Torchwood shot it down. What does is mean for the Doctor and Rose's future. I guess we'll have to wait for a future episode to find out! The new Doctor is glad that Rose still wants to travel with him even though he changed into a completely different man. The Doctor and his friends celebrate christmas at the Powell Estate and the The Doctor and Rose set off on more adventures through time and space.
So, is the tenth Doc as good as the ninth? You bet!
