The bacteria has spread very quickly, and threatens to spread across London. The Doctor desperately tries to create a cure.
This is quite a nasty episode, it's very skilfully made, this kind of bacterial infection and spread is pretty scary, it's been used many, many times in films, think of Contagion. The scenes of panic and sickness at the Station are harrowing, as is the demise of Masters.
I'm a big fan of Liz, I love how she refuses to simply take orders blindly from The Brigadier. She was a great companion, very clever, and broke the mould of the female companion, she wasn't there to scream and make cups of tea.
I thought this seven part story began somewhat slowly, as it's progressed I've realised just how good it is, the latter half is way better then the first half.
Excellent, very chilling. 9/10
