Doctor Who - Human Nature and The Family Of Blood

Finally season three of the new Doctor Who produces a couple of good espisodes. The two part story featured in Human Nature and The Family Of Blood was really very good, and far above anything else this season. They were both written by Paul Cornell and based on a Doctor Who novel that he wrote. It shows; the story was, for a start, not stupid, but contained real drama and human emotion. It was probably the most adult episode of the season so far, the kids were probably bored and waiting for a Dalek, but I loved it.

It's a shame it's taken so long for this season to produce a decent episode.
