On this week's Doctor Who, the Doctor is left stunned by the "arrival" of a girl claiming to be his daughter.



The Doctor's Daughter
The girl in question is feisty young warrior Jenny, played by Georgia Moffett (who is soon to be announced as the new companion actually the daughter of former Doctor Peter Davison). Jenny is the product of singular progenation - meaning that the Doctor is both mother and father of his new dependent. The Doctor is mostly shocked by her sudden appearance, and in facts spends most of the episode in denial about it. The main plot involves humans being at war with a race called the Hath on a distant planet called Messaline, but I'll spare you the inanity of the finer detail. There's also a cameo from Skins star Joe Dempsie.

The Adventures Of... Miss Martha Jones
Once again Martha gets her own subplot, having been kidnapped by the Hath and promptly written off as "collateral damage" by an unsympathetic - yet strangely perceptive - Jenny. Her peril is short-lived, however, as before too long she has befriended her captors and developed a master plan to find the Doctor, end the war and blah blah blah...

Hath-Soaked
As for the Hath - well, they look like the Ood (cost-cutting at the BBC costume department, perhaps?) but instead of tentacles coming from their mouths, they have beakers filled with bubbling green liquid. Also in common with the Ood, they have a name that is ripe for pun possibilities. Post your best jokes at the end of the column...
