Invaders From Mars (8th Doctor, January 2002)
This was a fun one. They’re absolutely terrible at American accents but the homage to both the radio plays of old and hardboiled detective stories was great.
Oh god, yeah, they’re terrible! I cannot stand when British people do American accents (and this is coming from a Brit), there’s always one or two exceptions but most of the time they just sound awful, same with Americans pretending to be Brits.
It was a pretty fun story though, and if you listen carefully there’s all sorts of purposeful little bits and intentional anachronisms that lead into Chimes of Midnight.

I’ve watched all of two episodes of this series so far, what with my interest in Doctor Who decreasing more and more recently. The past few series have really not been up to snuff and I’ve just got fed up with it.
