The Beast Below

This Story: Series 5, Story 2. Production Code 5.3
Overall: Story 205, Episode 764
Airdate: 10 Apr 2010
Written by Steven Moffat
Directed by Andrew Gunn

Notes

  • Sophie Okonedo plays “Liz 10”.  She was previously the companion in the Wilderness Years special, “Scream of the Shalka“.
  • Liz 10 appears again later this season in “The Pandorica Opens“.
  • I believe this is the only episode where we hear Amy Pond’s middle name – Jessica.
  • David Ajala plays Peter here.  He’s more well known for roles in Supergirl & Star Trek: Discovery.

Interesting story about the whole of the UK being cramped together on "Starship UK". The Doctor lands and gets involved in local political intrigue. What I like most here is Matt's pic.twitter.com/SVYevzjNa4

performance - we get an early example of the rage of the Doctor - not every Dr actor pulls this off well. I wish this was longer, as it seemed to end quickly. Lots of foreshadowing. pic.twitter.com/4IoRW6LlF7
