- Quotes
The Doctor: All I need to do is expel it. If I concentrate, shift the radiation... out my body into one spot... inside my left shoe. Here we go. Here we go. Easy does it.
The Doctor: [jumps up and down shaking his left foot] Out! Out! Ow, ow, ow. Ow. ow, ow, ah! Hah, hah, itches! Itches! Itches! Itches! Oh, ooh, hold on...
The Doctor: [then rips off his shoe and throws it in a trash can] There we go! Done.
Martha Jones: You're completely mad.
The Doctor: You're right. I look daft with one shoe.
[takes off other shoe and chucks it in the same bin]
The Doctor: Barefoot on the moon!

Performed by Arrested Development
Arriving at work at a London hospital, Martha Jones (Freema Agyeman) begins a day like no other when the building, patients and all is transported to the moon. The Judoon, a group of military-like mercenaries have relocated the building to hunt for an alien hidden amongst them. Fortunately for all of them, one alien hidden amongst them is The Doctor (David Tennant) who tries to identify the real culprit before the limited Oxygen supply runs out.
I like Martha. I appreciate that she's not as beloved as Rose or Amy, but I don't think she or Freema really get their due. It's a little cringy looking at it now that she and her family are introduced with the Hip hop song playing in the background as it shouts "look they're black" at the audience. I forgot totally that Gugu Mbatha-Raw was her sister or that Reggie Yates plays her brother, or even that he used to act at all. I did remember that Adjoa Andoh returned to the show and fortunately without the heavy cat prosthetics this time.
The actual episode is decent, if not perhaps the very top tier. The puppet face for the rhino like Judoon is very good and most of the CGI is strong in this one. Anne Reid makes for a sinister villain, despite her benign appearance but the resolution of her storyline and particularly her trap is a bit underwhelming. Now trained with the "Bad Woof" and "Torchwood" through runners, the "Mr. Saxon" is prevalent and explicit again this time. I do miss when "Doctor Who" had a season arc though.
Fine, if a bit underdeveloped.
