David Tennant is perfect as the hero, and throughout he looks delighted at his obvious good fortune. He's sexy, too, so there's a frisson of romantic tension with his sidekick Rose (Billie Piper) when the pair fetch up on New Earth five billion years in the future, after the Doctor receives a message from a hospitalised old friend. It's a sinister place, staffed by strange, cat-faced nurses, which hides a sad and terrible secret. As the Doctor seeks out his ailing pal, Rose once more gets on the wrong side of the vain and imperious Cassandra (Zoe Wanamaker). The story, by Russell T Davies, has poignancy and heart, and it's great family viewing (but not suitable for very young children). Cameras follow Tennant filming this first adventure in Doctor Who Confidential on BBC3 at 8pm. [[All aboard the TARDIS|Sixteen-page special: page 12]] ---- THE INSIDE STORY If you're pining for more Doctor Who (7.15pm BBC1), you can watch minute-long episodes on mobile phones and the net.
