Donelle Jettrick To start off with we get an unexplainable plot device which conveniently puts them in the right place at the right time. Oh...uh...sure the TARDIS needs to refuel now...cause yeah...just because. And naturally we're doing it six months after the period in which I abducted Rose...also because <.< To be fair, that's a common Doctor Who thing; the TARDIS pretty much actively seeks out trouble. Think of The Unquiet Dead, when the Doctor aimed for Naples 1863 (or somewhere thereabouts), but ended up in Cardiff 1869, right where trouble was conveniently a-brewin'. Besides, I thought Boom Town's excuse for landing the TARDIS there was a little more imaginative than the usual "stupid TARDIS done ******** up again". Mhm... if the TARDIS didn't go to where the action is at, Dr. Who wouldn't be the television series it is.

What I object to is the fact that they've introduced the idea that the Tardis even needs refuelling now-something we'll likely never hear mentioned again. At least the Tardis being broken was a consistent thing. And just how the hell did she get to be lord mayor of this place anyways? Even if, as we can probably safely assume, the previous incident with the Slitheen was hushed up Margaret still ought to have gone down on the records as being dead, even if she wasn't recorded as an intergalactic criminal. Doesn't Welsh admin check anything these days? confused

In "Vengeance on Varos" the TARDIS stopped working, and needed a supply of Zyton-7 to be able to travel again. Hence the Doctor's stumbling into the middle of the original "reality TV gone bad"......

That would be the one. Also famous for the introduction of Sil, who was possibly the most alien monster with recognizable human parts in the entire series......
