I'm reviewing this whilst referring back to the review of "Human Nature", last week. So an update, for everyone's benefit (especially mine);

* Doctor and Martha running from The Family of Blood, hide in a school in England, in 1913.
* Doctor assumes the name John Smith, falls in love and forgets that he is a Timelord.
* The Family of Blood track The Doctor down, and start a killing spree.
* Oh, and the amazingly intelligent Tim Latimer has the watch.

The first part left us, and The Doctor, faced with the possibility of either Martha or Joan being evapourated by The Family. However, Martha manages to overpower her captor, and The Doctor, Martha and others, run back to the school which is subsequently besieged. Latimer is listening to the watch, and after The Family have killed a few more, is instructed to hand the watch back. Which inevitably saves the day.

The Doctor shows his compassionate, non violent character. When the school (a cadet school), is defending itself against The Family and their scarecrow army, he (as John Smith) is the only one not firing his weapon. The boys are busy blowing scarecrows apart.

Also, when he has changed back into a Timelord, instead of killing The Family, he grants them their wish to live forever. Which makes me want to check all of my mirrors!

Latimer's super human intelligence (and psychic abilities) foresee the dreadful events of the war, and The Doctor gives him the watch which saves his life and the life of his school friend.

Nurse Joan, who fell in love with John Smith, believes that The Doctor is a different person to Smith. She refuses his invitation to travel, as there had been so many deaths at the school. It is reminiscent of Doctor-geek Clive's words in the episode Rose; "Everywhere he goes, he leaves a trail of destruction." That sums up the way humans view The Doctor, even though the death and destruction is caused by his enemies.

Oh, maybe that was over analysing the episode; it was, after all, an amazing story with plenty of suspense. Maybe that's how I should view it.

Rating (for both episodes); 10/10. If it was possible to give it more, I would!
