Series 1 Episode 3: The Unquiet Dead

In episode 3 the Doctor and Rose travel again but this time the go into the other direction, into the past

Summary:
Strange things happen in Mr Sneed's funeral home in Cardiff in 1869. The dead come back to life and he has to get them back with the help of his maid Gwyneth. The Doctor and Rose land accidentally in this time and start to investigate these happenings. Charles Dickens is in town and helps them to find out what is behind the walking dead. They find out that the dead are inhabited by an alien race called the Gelth who come through the Rift in Cardiff to save themselves. The Gelth ask the Doctor for help and he tells them that he will do everything to keep them alive. Gwyneth is the key to open the Rift but are the Gelth really the harmless aliens they pretend to be?

When I watched the episode for the first time, there was no sign of Torchwood yet and we didn't know that Eve Myles, who plays Gwyneth in this episode, come back later as Gwen Cooper. It is quite fun to watch her in this episode and know that she will be back later as her own descendant.
I liked the story with the ghosts who turned out to be aliens who turned out to be bad aliens. In this episode Rose and the Doctor disagree about what to do with the aliens and I guess the Doctor wants to save them because he feels guilty about the Time War and that he was the reason that many planets and races have been destroyed. Rose distrusts the aliens because she had some bad encounters with aliens before even if she hasn't travelled with the Doctor for a long time. I loved Charles Dickens in this episode. The actor who played him was just brilliant and it gave the episode a feel like it was really playing in the past. I really enjoy the episodes of Doctor Who when they include characters from the past and this episode was no exception.
