A debate with a cat: do the ends justify the means? The Doctor in full Oncoming-Storm mode against nice Novice Hame, sowing the seeds of his Waters of Mars hubris years before the fact. At least until Rose – who’s been noticeably 'meh' about all the unethical practices going on in this medical establishment – decides it’s her turn in the spotlight. And lo, the imposter reveals herself at last… Oh, wake up and smell the perfume, who else did you think it was gonna be?

Rather intense, this one (geddit? intense?). Following on from their unexpected canoodling session in Ward 26, Rose – or is she? – gives the Doctor a crash-course in mainframe terminal hacking, and hey presto! The true horror of the hospital’s gruesome secret is revealed…

About that Tomb of the Cybermen reference: I’m sorry, I’m so sorry.

Mysteries abound in Ward 26, as the Doctor and Rose investigate! Just how do the Sisters work their medical magic? Why are all the patients fine, when they should be dead or dying? What’s with Rose’s new voice? And why has she suddenly taken up tonsil-tennis? Is anything really what it seems...?

Also: the Duke of Manhattan takes up flirting, Frau Clovis gets jealous, and Novice Hame reflects. Includes bad manners, brainy specs, champagne, far-future diseases, some terrible Cockney, a sleepy Face of Boe and a Carry On reference. Oh, and snogging. Ooh matron, indeed! (No, that’s not the reference…)
