Summary

Mickey is startled to find a statue of Rose in a museum – a statue that is 2,000 years old. The Doctor realises that this means the TARDIS will shortly take them to ancient Rome, but when it does, he and Rose soon have more on their minds than sculpture.

While the Doctor searches for a missing boy, Rose befriends a girl who claims to know the future – a girl whose predictions are surprisingly accurate. But then the Doctor stumbles on the hideous truth behind the statue of Rose – and Rose herself learns that you have to be very careful what you wish for…

Review

Rating: 8

I really enjoyed this one. It gave you a great feeling of being in Rome circa 120AD. The characterisation of the 10th Doctor and Rose (even Mickey) was spot on and I had a great laugh in some places. The story takes a very interesting twist halfway through. You could see something coming but what did was unexpected.
