This story was better than
I thought it would be, given the fact that a Judoon was going to figure quite
heavily in the story. It was great. It had a kind of Blade Runner feel to the
story, where mob fathers were fierce in the lower end of the city, but with a
new face, unknown to all of them, was out to take Uncle for all he was worth.
There were alien twins,
and a detective agency run by a girl who was keen to find her Dad, and taking
any case to keep her business afloat, but which all tied in with the same thing
the Doctor and the Judoon Commander were investigating.
You saw a different side
to the lumbering rhino boy, where 'Justice is Swift', you saw something quite
elegant and sweet and bloody hilarious, that you're smiling and really wish
that, should they ever bring the Judoon back into play on the tellybox, that
they introduce this Judoon, because, he was funny. I mean, not slapstick funny,
but funny in the sense that he could take a joke, which you need, when you're
dealing with all manner of aliens, and you're with the 10th Doctor.
A definite must on any Who
bookshelf.
