TV: Doctor Who – The Hungry Earth

BBC One, Saturday, 6.15pm

Prod, dig and poke at someone long enough and they’ll eventually fight back. It turns out that planets respond in much the same way.
It’s the near future in a sleepy Welsh village and Nasreen (Meera Syal) and Tony are on the threshold of making (literally) groundbreaking scientific discoveries. Their mining equipment has dug further underground than ever before but something underneath the ground wasn’t ready to be disturbed and is making its way to the surface to intercept…
Fortunately the Doctor, Amy and Rory have made a slight detour – explaining why Miss Pond is in hotpants in a graveyard – and the Time Lord knows who’s lurking down below only too well.
It's a scary, church under siege, 'classic' Doctor Who story for the viewer but one thing’s for sure – it most definitely isn’t going to end well for the TARDIS crew...
