Title really is "42". This is one that puts the Doctor & Martha on a spaceship with a small crew trapped - an old school base under siege feel. A crewman gets infected which raises his body pic.twitter.com/sGvDhXW02j

temp to insanely high levels - they go around killing crewmen. They need to save themselves from falling into the sun. Despite the simple premise, it works well dramatically. Good Chibnall ep. pic.twitter.com/fMMcxHp1gh
