When Doctor Who (David Tennant) has checked himself into a hospital, you know there is something weird going on ... and really, in no time at all, the hospital is teleported to the moon, and an intergalactic police force, the Judoons (aliens that oddly enough look like rhinos, enter the building and searches for a non-human lifeform they have orders to execute - which is quite unfortunate since the Doctor is a non-human lifeform ...

So with the help of medical student Martha Jones (Freema Agyeman), he tries to stay out of the way of the Judoons while tracking down the alien they are looking for on his own - which turns out to be the lovely old lady Mrs Finnegan (Anne Reid), who is really an intergalactic blooddrinker but who has sucked enough blood to pass as human ... so in order to convince the Judoons that Mrs Finegan is the perp they are looking for, the Doctor has to trick her into drinking his blood - which ultimately causes his almost-death but her execution.

Of course, before her death, good old Mrs Finnegan has reconfigured some hospital equipment in a way that the moon and earth will be blown out of the skies, but in the nick of time, Martha can revive the Doctor and he can re-refigure the equipment ... and ultimately the hospital is teleported back to earth and everything's back to normal ... and of course, Martha will become the Doctor's new travelling companion ...

Quite obviously, the rhino-like Judoons make great aliens, and as a whole, this rather fast-moving episode of Doctor Who is one of the better episodes of the new series, and David Tennant and Freema Agyeman do make a good team ... at the same time though, the story is given very little room to develop in a mere 50 minutes, and especially the character of Mrs Finnegan, a fun villain in th eelderly woman mold of almost infinite possibilities, is left rather unexplored - which is nothing short of a pity.
