Doctor Who: Series 3

The new Who is filled with new thrills, new laughs, new heartbreak and some terrifying new monsters. From the moment the Tenth Doctor (David Tennant, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, The Chatterley Affair) walks into the life of medical student Martha Jones (Freema Agyeman, The Bill, Silent Witness), he changes it forever. As the duo travels through time and space together, they encounter extraordinary events, amazing worlds and faces both old and new. In Elizabethan London, they meet William Shakespeare at the Globe Theatre. Back in present-day London, 76-year-old Professor Lazarus recaptures his youth with consequences that threaten Martha’s entire family. The Doctor’s sworn enemies, the Daleks, who have been hiding in 1930s New York, return with a terrifying plan for humanity. See why the third installment of Doctor Who earned a Best Drama Series BAFTA® as well as a Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation.

Smith and Jones - For Martha Jones, a medical student in Central London, an ordinary day turns into a nightmare when her entire hospital is transported to the Moon. There, she has to battle the Judoon and outwit a blood-sucking Plasmavore – but can she trust a mysterious stranger called the Doctor?

The Shakespeare Code - For Martha’s first trip in the Tardis, the Doctor takes her back in time, to Elizabethan England. When they find William Shakespeare (Dean Lennox Kelly) under the control of deadly witch-like creatures, they must battle forces from the dawn of the universe to stop history being changed for ever.

Gridlock - The Doctor takes Martha to the planet New Earth, in the far future. But when they find the streets being ruled by the sinister Pharamacists, they must brave the ordeal of the mysterious Motorway in order to discover the terrible secret at the heart of the city.

Daleks in Manhattan - The TARDIS lands in 1930s New York. In the midst of the Depression, people are disappearing off the streets. Savage Pig Men hide in the sewers and, at the very top of the Empire State Building, the Doctor’s oldest enemies are at work, preparing their most audacious plan yet.

Evolution of the Daleks - Dalek Sec is reborn in human form and plans to build a Dalek empire in 1930s New York. While Martha fights for her life at the top of the Empire State Building, the Doctor must enter into an unholy alliance in order to change Dalek history forever.

The Lazarus Experiment - Martha returns home - could this be the end of her travels with the Doctor? When she discovers her family is caught up in the scheming of Professor Lazarus (Mark Gatiss) and his Genetic Manipulation Device, it becomes a fight for survival, as human DNA twists into monstrous form.

42 - In a distant galaxy, a spaceship hurtles out of control towards a boiling sun with the Doctor and Martha trapped on board. They have only 42 minutes to uncover the saboteurs, but, with a mysterious force starting to possess the ship’s crew, the Doctor is running out of time.

Human Nature - It’s 1913 in England, and an ordinary schoolteacher called John Smith dreams of adventures in time and space and a mysterious blue box. But when lights in the sky herald the arrival of something strange and terrible, Smith’s maid, Martha, has to convince him that he alone can save the world.

The Family of Blood - It is 1913 in England and war has come a year in advance as the terrifying Family hunt for the Doctor. But while John Smith refuses to accept his destiny as a Time Lord, the women in his life – Martha and Joan – have to take terrible measures to save the whole of history.

Blink - In an old, abandoned house, the Weeping Angels wait. However, when people start disappearing, a young woman called Sally finds cryptic messages bleeding through from 1969 – messages from a mysterious stranger called the Doctor. Can she decipher them before the Angels claim their prize?

Utopia - Jack’s back! As Captain Jack storms back into the Doctor’s life, the Tardis is thrown out of control, to the end of the universe. There, they find the savage Futurekind ruling the wilderness, while a lonely Professor tries in vain to save the last of the human race.

The Sound Of Drums - Harry Saxon becomes Prime Minister, and his reign of terror begins. This is only the start of his ambitions, however, as he announces humankind’s first contact with an alien race, the Toclafane. An audacious plan, spanning the whole of time and space, begins to close around the Earth. (Guest star: John Simm – Life On Mars, State Of Play)
