Summary:
The Doctor, Mickey and Rose land in a parallel version of the Earth where Rose's Dad is still living and quite successful. She wants to meet him and after some discussions the Doctor goes with her. It's Jackie's birthday and Rose and the Doctor help to serve the guests, so Rose gets a chance to talk to her Dad. Meanwhile Mickey visits his grandmother but he is kidnapped by some people and soon meets his parallel self Ricky. Ricky is the head of a resistance group in London who have noticed that people go missing. The Doctor soon finds out what happened to the people when the birthday party is attacked by Cybermen, another old enemy of the Doctor.
The episode is the first part of a two parter in which the Tardis lands in a parallel London. This is the second time Rose is able to see her Dad and talk to him and he somehow knows her deep down inside. It's a cool idea to have an episode in a parallel universe because you can use the same characters but they can behave totally different because different universes aren't exactly the same. In this episode you can see how Mickey changes and how different Ricky is. Now the comment of the Ninth Doctor makes sense because he normally called Mickey Ricky. This is the first episode of New Who where the Cybermen appear another old enemy of the Doctor beside the Cybermen. It's interesting that Cybermen are originally humans but they are transformed and robbed of their emotions. A really good episode with a dramatic cliffhanger.

Quotes from "The Unicorn and the Wasp"
Today I have some quotes from the Agatha Christie episode "The Unicorn and the Wasp" for you.
The Doctor: Oh, smell that air, grass and lemonade, and a little bit of mint. Just a hint of mint, must be the 1920's.
Donna: You can tell what year it is just by smelling?
The Doctor: Oh yeah.
Donna: Or, that big vintage car coming up the drive gave it away.
The Doctor: A terrible day for all of us. The Professor struck down, Miss Chandrakala cruelly taken from us. And yet we still take dinner.
Lady Eddison: We are British, Doctor. What else must we do?
Donna: That poor footman. Roger's dead and he can't even mourn him. 1926? It's more like the Dark Ages.
The Doctor: She is the best selling novelist of all time.
Donna: But she never knew.
The Doctor: Well, no-one knows how they're going to be remembered. All you can do is hope for the best. Maybe that's what kept her writing. The same thing keeps me travelling. Onwards?
Donna: Onwards.

Series 2 Episode 4: The Girl in the Fireplace
Summary:
It is Mickey's first trip in the Tardis, which brings him, the Doctor and Rose onto a spaceship in the future. There are no people on board but a fireplace that is a time portal. Through the fireplace the Doctor meets Reinette as a girl and discovers that she is haunted by clockwork robots who scan her brain. He meets her in different stages of her life and soon finds out that she is Madame de Pompadour. Rose and Mickey have a look at the spaceship and they find human body parts integrated into the ship. When the clockwork robots try to kill Reinette the Doctor tries everything to save her even if that means that he can't return to Rose and Mickey. Can he find a way back?
I really liked this episode especially because of the time jumps but in the end it's a really sad episode because the Doctor comes too late. The clockwork robots look amazing and it must have been so much work to build them but they are really brilliant and a bit scary. There is a lot of emotion in the episode, for example when Rose thinks she has lost the Doctor forever or when the Doctor reads Reinette's last letter. I love the scene with the horse on the spaceship and how the Doctor keeps it as a pet. That's really cool. You somehow feel the joy of Mickey who is on a spaceship for the first time. All in all, a beautiful episode with a bitter sweet touch.
