The Curse of Agatha Christie

I've not been able to fully write up about the 7th episode of the new series of Dr Who as the last time I did the friggin Internet cut out on me and it didn't save the post! So here goes...

I really enjoyed this episode where the Doctor and Donna meet up with Agatha Christie at a dinner party back in 1926 round about the same time as her mysterious real life dissappearance and this time they have to thwart off a big killer giant wasp as it kills off the inhabitants of a mansion one by one. So in fine super sleuth style, the Doctor and Agatha try to deduce who exactly was the murderer.

This episode was really enoyable from start to finish I liked the use of Agatha Christie's real life disappearance which was smartly woven into the storyline. The best scene occurred when the Doctor is poisoned and he describes to Donna while gasping for breath what he needs to expel the poison from his system, it was a real laugh. This is of course followed up by the obligatory kissing scene, added to every season, it must be a contractual thing for David Tennant that he has to get off with all of his campanions once! This is not too bad a thing as Russell T Davies always neatly uses the "kiss" for another reason altogether rather than just a bit of sexual tension.

But this was a really entertaining episode hopefully the next one Silence in the Library, which was postponed last Saturday because of the God awful Eurovision Song Contest, will be a good un, should be, its penned by Steven Moffatt, who has been rumoured to write the whole of the next new series of Who.
