Doctor Who: Smith and Jones (2007)
Season 3, Episode 1
Pretty good for a series opener
7 August 2011
Warning: Spoilers
This was never going to be the best episode of Dr. Who. RTD had to introduce Martha Jones, have a convincing way for the Doctor to meet her and bring out her characteristics while still keeping an entertaining and fast paced story, which to be fair to him he did pretty well.

Compared to some of the other monsters we've seen over the last two series the Judoon looked quite good and Anne Reid as Mrs. Finnegan was excellent.

I wasn't overly convinced by Freema Agyeman and although she improved over the course of the series she has been the weakest companion of the new series (and when I heard Catherine Tate was going to be in series 4 I never thought I'd be saying that) but Dave Tennant continued to show what a great Doctor he is and more than compensated for her.

The story itself was good, pretty tense in places and it had a good ending.
