For those that moaned about Tennant's flirtations with Rose, check out Doctor number one with Cameca. Seems the romancing began right at the start. His face when she suggests marriage is priceless.
Susan has been hidden away for the majority of the serial thus far, but has a slightly more substantial role.
This is another excellent episode. Every few minutes one of the TARDIS crew are placed in real peril, it's been great to see a softer side from the Doctor, that could only have happened in these early episodes, how he changes as the series goes on. Brilliant.
