Day 294: Colony in Space Episode 2

It's nice to go back to other worlds in Doctor Who again. It's been commented several times that the series had become a little dull, or at least the potential for the series to become dull, was strongly present due to the Doctor bring stuck on Earth, so by having the series venture back into space travel, it prevents the audience from getting bored. To take advantage of this, Hulke has chosen to make this as unlike a UNIT story as he possibly can. Aside from setting it on an alien world, he's created a world where it is obvious that the aliens and the humans are allies, robots are just about everywhere, and the enemy is not an invading alien force but instead an invading human force. It's changes like these that make Hulke an interesting writer as he's consciously aware of the world and the characters that he builds up around him. And we'll look more into that world over the course of the next couple of episodes.
