Season 24@30. If you’re a fugitive on a planet covered in rocks it might just be an
idea not to sport your normal bright orange and yellow number but perhaps
acquire a dark cloak of some sort. Welcome to part 2 in which last week’s
cliffhanger is rather adeptly untangled by having the bubble trap land on
water. You see sometimes the much maligned Pip and Jane are somewhat better
than we remember. Like the scene when the new Doctor and the real Mel finally
meet. This perfectly played sequence starts with a little physical comedy, then
a series of accusations and counter accusations and then when each realises the
other’s identity an affectionate reunion. Well played in every sense.
