When we rejoin the Doctor at the start of “The Family of Blood,” he’s not quite himself. Turned into a human in order to hide, the Doctor is now John Smith. John Smith simply doesn’t know what to do when faced with a family of aliens who have killed some humans, taken over their bodies, and employ scarecrows as soldiers. It’s up to Martha.
MARTHA: Don’t just stand there, move! God, you’re rubbish as a human!

“Human Nature” is one of those episodes of Doctor Who which start with action. As in, the Doctor and Martha are dodging lasers in the very first second.

With “Daleks in Manhattan,” Doctor Who takes us back in time and place to New York, 1930. I assume that the show had an accent coach working with many of the so-called New Yorkers. At times the voices don’t fit so well, but hey, it’s an episode about fighting trash cans and pigs. The revamped daleks I like. The pig-men, eh, not so much…
