Doctor Who: Aliens of London

Poor Jackie. Poor piggy.

Better than we'd remembered.

IMHO, the piggy is the very best thing about the episode. That and Jackie smacking the Doctor.

I've always seen this two-parter as the unacknowledged gem of the season. It's not as deep as "The Empty Child," or even "The Parting of the Ways," but it does what it's trying to do just about perfectly, and it wouldn't be Doctor Who if we didn't spend some time on silly corridor chases and rampaging aliens.

Agreed about the piggy.
