Summary:
The Slitheen have killed all the alien experts but the weren't able to kill the Doctor. Now he is on the run from them, as well as Rose and Harriet Jones. Soon they find together again and lock themselves into the cabinet room, which is build like a panic room with steel doors and walls. From there they try to find out what the Slitheen want but the Doctor needs Mickey's help for that. Mickey has saved Jackie from one of the Slitheens but it followed them back to Mickey's flat. It will kill them if the Doctor can't find a way to save them, which he luckily does. Now they know that the Slitheen send a signal into space because they first want to destroy earth and then sell it piece by piece. Can the Doctor stop them?
In the second part of this two-parter we see that the Slitheen can't kill the Doctor but they have him in a trap in the cabinet room. The Doctor doesn't really know what they are up to and it is fun to watch him when he tries to find an answer to how to kill them when Jackie and Mickey are in danger. You can see that he doesn't like Rose's mother or boyfriend very much but he kind of starts to tolerate them in this episode, especially because he needs their help. We also see, that he doesn't want to put Rose in danger but that he has to when he wants to save the world. I think it's funny that after everything is over the public doesn't believe that the blown up Downing Street 10 has something to do with aliens. People always deny what they can't understand.
The chemistry between the characters is brilliant in this episode and I really like the energy Christopher Eccleston brings into his Doctor. I think the Slitheen are also some of my favourite aliens in the show.

Quotes from "World War Three"
Some great quotes from the episode "World War Three" from series 1.
The Doctor: I think you'll find the Prime Minister is an alien in disguise, and... that’s never gonna work, is it?
Military Police Leader: (shakes his head) No
General Asquith: Under the jurisdiction of the Emergency Protocols, I authorize you to execute this man!
The Doctor: Uh well, now, yes, you see, ah, the thing is, if I was you, if I was going to, ah, execute someone by backing them against the wall, between you and me, little word of advice... don't stand them against the lift!
Joseph Green: Excuse me. Your device will do what? Triplicate the flammability?
The Doctor: That’s what I said.
Joseph Green: You’re making it up.
The Doctor: Oh, well, nice try. (offers the decanter to Harriet) Harriet, have a drink. I think you’re gonna need it.
Harriet Jones: You pass it to the left first.
The Doctor: Sorry.
Jackie Tyler: Got anything stronger?
Mickey Smith: No chance. I've seen you when you've had a few. This ain't time for a conga.
Jackie Tyler: We've gotta tell someone.
Mickey Smith: Who do we trust? For all we know, they've all got big bog monsters inside of 'em. I mean this is what he does, Jacks, that Doctor bloke. Everywhere he goes, death and destruction, and he's got Rose in the middle of it.
Jackie Tyler: Has he got a great big green thing inside of him then?
Mickey Smith: I wouldn't put it past him. But like it or not, he's the only person who knows how to fight these things.
Mickey Smith: You’re safe in my flat, Jacks. No-one’s gonna look for you here, especially since you hate me so much.
Jackie Tyler: You saved my life. God, that’s embarrassing.
Rose: Can we just launch a nuclear bomb at them?
Harriet Jones: You’re a very violent young woman.
Harriet Jones: Well, the British Isles can’t gain access to atomic weapons without a special resolution from the UN.
Rose: Like that’s ever stopped ‘em.
Harriet Jones: Exactly, given our past record. And I voted against that, thank you very much. The codes have been taken out of the government’s hands and given to the UN. Is it important?
The Doctor: Everything’s important.
Harriet Jones: If we only knew what the Slitheen wanted. Listen to me, I’m saying "Slitheen" like it’s normal.
Jackie Tyler: Well, I’ve got a question, if you don’t mind. Cos since that man walked into our lives, I have been attacked in the streets. I have had creatures from the pits of Hell in my own living room and my daughter disappear off the face of the earth.
Rose: I told you what happened.
Jackie Tyler: I’m talking to him! Cos I’ve seen this life of yours, Doctor, and maybe you get off on it and maybe you think it’s all clever and smart, but you tell me... just answer me this... is my daughter safe?
Rose: I’m fine.
Jackie Tyler: Is she safe? Will she always be safe? Can you promise me that?
Joseph Green: Victory...should be naked!
The Doctor: Mickey the Idiot, the world is in your hands.
Rose: My mother's cooking.
The Doctor: Good. Put her on a slow heat and let her simmer.
