I liked it too. Though you'd have thought they'd have modified the New Rock boots a bit to make them less recognisable. Or do the Judoon come down to earth to buy their footwear in Goth shops? That might explain the black kilts they picked up whilst they were there...
Holly and me (with Parents) watched it too - and Holls loved it! Especially the Ju(j?)ood rhino policemen "Look at those pig-monsters Holly" - "No Mummy, they're rhinos, not pigs"... she's far cleverer than I am. We even got tantrums when it ended and an insistence on watching the video of the "Sea Devils" with Jon Pertwee... Ace...
Tantrums when it ended, eh? Clearly her mother's daughter! And you can tell her I entirely agree! Damned inconvenient to have to wait another week for the next episode...
It was good, though, wasn't it? I do quite like Martha, I think it is the hairdo. That and seeing the (previously) revered Billie's rather dismal performance in Mansfield Park the other week which sort of removed her godliness for me.
Yes - she's sassy, and there's a very different dynamic there. I loved that normally it is the Doctor who's telling people like Rose how he promises he'll get them out of some perilous situation alive, but in Smith and Jones, while the two of them were standing on the balcony together, Martha told him that she promised she'd get them back to Earth. I don't think he's ever encountered anyone quite like her before, and it's going to be interesting seeing how he reacts...
I missed all except about two seconds of Billie in Mansfield Park, but what I saw didn't make me sorry I had!
