Dawn of "The Age of Steel" tonight on DOCTOR WHO


"I thought I was broadcasting to the security services, what do I get: Scooby-Doo and his gang... they've even got the van."

"I'm London's most wanted... for parking tickets."

"Even better... that's the name of my dog."

"Ex-cellent!"

"The human race, for such an intelligent lot you are all susceptible. Give anyone a chance to take control and you submit. Sometimes I think you like it."

"Upgrade THIS!"

"What the HELL was that thing?!?"

"Sally. Sally Phelan."

"This is the age of steel and I am its creator!"

"I'd call you a genius except I'm in the room."

"Ordinary stupid BRILLIANT people!"

"The most ordinary person can change the world."

"I'm sorry."

"That's the Doctor. In the TARDIS. With Rose Tyler."

"He's gone home."

"Nothing wrong with a van... I once saved the universe with a big yellow truck."

It's "The Age of Steel" starting tonight at 8 - and playing a few more times over the weekend - on the Sci-Fi Channel. Concluding the story that began last week with "Rise of the Cybermen", tonight's Doctor Who sees the Doctor, Rose and Mickey still stuck on the alter-Earth as insane industralist John Lumic begins processing humanity into the cold-hearted Cybermen. Be warned: this is a very horrifying episode, about as scary as any Doctor Who episode is apt to get. One scene in particular, long months after I first watched this episode, still gives me the freezing willies. One of the better episodes to come out of Season 2 of the revitalized series. And a wonderful setup for events that will happen at the end of this season.

  1. Series 2 is excellent. Thanks to YouTube, I've already seen the entire season.
