Doctor Who: Planet Of The Dead

I finally got around to watching the Doctor Who Easter special, only a month late, but better late than never. ;-) The story was very well done and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.

It was great to see UNIT back in action. We have only seen once them once before in the new series. UNIT was always a curious counterpoint to the Doctor since he never used guns of any sort, so they really only existed to shoot at things. Well, that hasn't changed but UNIT is different than they were in original series, because they never had any “boffins” on staff that I can recall.

This was the first of four specials to be aired this year. The next three will air in November and December so there is a long wait before we see any more of the Doctor. The final two specials will feature the regeneration into the eleventh incarnation.
