The what are in Manhattan???

From the Radio Times:

The TARDIS takes a trip back to 1930s New York. As if the struggle for survival in the harsh conditions of the Depression wasn't daunting enough, its citizens also face an unknown threat as people disappear off the streets. There's danger above and below ground - savage Pig Men roam the sewers, while at the top of the Empire State Building the Doctor's oldest enemies prepare to put a diabolical plan into action…

Harking back to classic Who and its trademark cliffhangers, the longer adventures allow the story to breathe and tensions to escalate. So just enjoy the epic scope, effortless scene-setting and show-stopping turn from Miranda Raison of Spooks as the brassy Tallulah.

I'm a little disappointed that the Doctor Who team and the BBC have actively publicised the inclusion of the Daleks in this weeks episode. Where's the surprise in that? Daleks work best when they take you by surprise. They should be hidden as much as possible - there was no mention that they were ever going to appear in series 2 and there had been no indications at all.

And what kind of episode title it 'Daleks in Manhattan' anyway?

Still, none of this is going to stop my enjoyment of the episode but it had better be far more interesting than the boring episode title!

In other episode-4-unrelated news, the full script for Smith & Jones, episode 1 of this current series has been made freely downloadable by the BBC. It certainly makes for interesting reading.
