Martha impressed in the hit and miss opener Smith and Jones, now she gets her first outing in the TARDIS, and it's back to London in 1599 for a visit to the Globe Theatre.
The first thing to point out is the stunning imagining of London back in 1599, it looks truly impressive, Smith and Jones special effects were really dodgy, but the Shakespeare Code looks as good as any blockbuster film, great production values.
A truly scary start, with the young musician entering the Witches lair, pretty nasty for the young children. The plot is a clever one, wonderfully imaginative, Lilith and her mothers are great, I love the story of Love's Labours lost and Love's Labours won. The finale is truly a goody, the Globe setting and play are gorgeously realised. I love how the audience applaud at the end.
There's quite a good looking cast, we have the very beautiful Christina Cole and the very hunky Dean Lennox Kelly. This episode is very good on the eyes for lots of reasons.
Here we go again with the companion falling in love with the Doctor, and there are more mentions of Rose :-(
Overall The Shakespeare code is a brilliant episode, the Carrionites are a great creation, it looks stunning. 9/10
Was Queen Bes a Zygon??
