The Poison sky

Episode Location: Earth, London
Aliens/Enemies: The Sontarans
New Characters: Martha Jones, Colonel Mace, Wilf, Sylvia
Gadgets Used: Sontaran lazers, teleport disks, sonic screwdriver, mobile phone, mallet
Episode Objective: To stop the Sontaran invasion of Earth

NOTE: I have serious doubts about the plot layout that I've made... I think there will be more coming and going off large, menacing looking spaceships. But I suppose we shall see!

As ATMOS machines continue to spew forth gas from vehicles all over Earth - enough to choke humanity - while the orbiting Sontarans prepare to invade and wage war. Now, the Doctor is already suspicious of the Martha clone - but can he save her, the rest of the world and himself, too? The fight it on, but Sontarans like fighting...



So, due to copious amounts of poisonous gas, not to mention the large Sontaran spaceship that is descending down to Earth, the world is on red alert and rather panicked.


So, once dear Wilf has been saved and the family is all right, the Doctor and Donna head off back to UNIT from the looks of things and the Doctor gives Donna a present!


Donna: God, the airs disgusting.
Doctor: Its not so bad for me - go on, get inside the TARDIS-
(holds out key)
Oh. Never given you a key. Keep that, go on. Thats yours. Quite a big moment really.
Donna: Yeah, maybe we can get sentimental after the worlds finished chocking to death.

But it appears she does get sentimental. Perhaps after the Doctor leaves her to give himself up to the Sontarans, or some such sacrifice.

But no... she's not really that safe since, soon after that, the Sontarans decide to beam up the wee blue box and claim it as their own (with poor Donna trapped inside!)


So now we have Donna sneaking about in a spaceship full of mindless killers... which can't really be that much fun. And she has no way of getting back.

And, according to those lucky enough to have already seen it, "There's only one person who can save the day. After helping the Doctor over the last few episodes, Donna gets the chance to see if she can do things on her own... But is she up to it?"

Perhaps those driving lessons will be put to good use?


Anyway, Earth, danger, red alert, nuclear strike... panic!

Well, Luke's clearly not... in fact, he seems quite excited about it all: "Oh man, this is war!"
And it really is as the Sontarans attack, and UNIT fights back.

And unfortunately, the Martha clone is still about, still wreaking havoc, and still fooling the Doctor as he realizes: "They need this gas for something else..."

So what is she planning on doing with our dear Time Lord?

But its okay, since the Doctor (being very clever and all that) is quickly onto the Clone. Surely she'll have a strange mark in the back of her neck where the umbilical chord was? And surely if its a clone then it wont have Martha's wedding ring?

And then off he pops to go find the real Martha and do a good old rescue!

Bless

So, Luke Rattigan: we know is a little misunderstood, and also working with the Sontarans in a a plot to destroy the word... but why is he here with the Doctor, Donna and Martha?

Well, since its the real Martha, after being saved and whatnot... maybe Luke has changed his ways and decided to help?

Then again... maybe not:

"Its time people, this is what our work has been for!"

And the Doctor meets up with the dear Colonel again, although he doesn't really seem to get on with him. Maybe since he's just ordered a nuclear bomb to be fired.

The Doctor: Whatever you do, Colonel Mace, do not engage the Sontarans in battle. There's nothing they like better then war! Leave this to me...

"All troupes, code red"

"Get them out of there!"

Speculation
These are from Digital Spy, and two of them are red- herrings:

• Donna's mother Sylvia wields an axe.
• A jellyfish-like Rutan army makes an appearance (via a Sontaran flashback).
• The Sontarans steal the TARDIS.
• UNIT prepare to launch a nuclear strike.
• Donna kills a Sontaran via the probic vent and booms out "back of the neck!"
• The Valiant is put to good use by Colonel Mace.
• The current whereabouts (and official title) of Alastair Lethbridge-Stewart are revealed.
• Donna punches the real Martha in the face - believing her to be the clone.
• Luke has devised a mating programme for his genius recruits.
• The Doctor puts on a gas mask to combat the poisonous sky and squeals "are you my mummy?"

And these quotes also appear at some point in the episode. Wonder what the missing words are?!

"She's not like you. She's not a *******." (Soldier?)
"My God, they're like trolls."
"I've designed a ****** program." (Mating?)
"The bravery of idiots is bravery nonetheless."
"Isolate them as they perish."
"Are you my *****?" (Mummy?)
"We've lost our target practice."

Entry from before the episode aired
So, first things first, we have the Doctor attempting to teach Donna to drive the TARDIS... not an easy task, I'm sure!

But then he gets a wee call of a certain Miss Martha Jones... or should that be Mrs Martha Jones? Well shes not actually married, but she's engaged to Tom Milligan. Bless.


Martha and her wee UNIT chums have called the Doctor back because there have been a lot of deaths... all in one day and all in the same way - i.e. cars crashing.

All these cars have been fitted with a new Sat Nav system called ATMOS and it is the belief of UNIT that ATMOS may be alien.


Anyway, Martha seems quite happy to see the Doctor again but doesn't seem to joy-filled to meet Donna. Donna knows the Doctor travels with others, he's even talked to her about Martha.. but maybe Martha is a bit shocked that he's found another so soon?











But whatever this tension is, it doesn't last long as Martha gets a UNIT call and brings the Doctor and Donna to the base. Donna (and possibly the Doctor) are a bit shocked at the person Martha has become.

Donna: You turned her into a soldier?

And now lets take a looky at UNIT:
Apparently, "The actor playing Colonel Mace is telling everybody that he is playing 'the new Brigadier'."

And here you can see some more UNIT people looking authoritative... and also one of them opening a strange futuristic tomb... so theres another mystery! What does the tomb contain?!









Whatever it contains, we shall find out! But anyway, the Doctor saunters off to find out whats going on with ATMOS. I don't know if Donna or Martha are with him at this point.

Either way, he soon finds a teleport machine, that takes him to... somewhere (I don't actually know where) but that doesn't matter as there are Sontarans!

The story is believed to be set around a an Academy called Rattigan House. So this obviously ties in with Luke, and with the name Mrs Rattigan (see encyclopedia)



Wilf is coming back as well! And from clips and whatnot from the world of the internet, we know that he was in the car (now equipped with ATMOS) when it starts to crash.










Thankfully, the Doctor and Donna are about to make it all better! (or at least fiddle with stuff)









So pretty obvious that the Sontarans are not exactly welcome, considering that they seem to be killing people... Either way, it looks like the Doctor teams up with UNIT to help fight them










Now, I don't know whats going on with Martha and Donna at this point, other than they are not with the Doctor and appear to be in large amounts of trouble.

And whats going on with Martha?? I thought she was supposed to be working with UNIT. Although, those guards may not be, they certainly look UNITified.

And why are there shots of her emerging from a green and slimy lake with such a dark look on her face?



All I know is that the Sontaran's are noted as being masters of Cloning since thats how they reproduce... so are we maybe looking at a Martha Clone? Then again, she could just be really annoyed for getting wet.



Speculations:
- One sequence involved a Sontaran emerging from his sphere

- the current episode being filmed involves a group of aliens creating a weight loss drug that actually grows an alien inside you. "This tallies with what I saw being filmed last week at what looked like some training (weight loss) clinic/academy, with lots of people running about in red work-out tracksuits"
