Another Holiday Goes Wrong

"One Mile Down" fits well into the middle of the Donna season. Here, The Doctor and Donna are very palsy, with Donna constantly taking the mickey out of The Doctor. The story is also rather obvious in its political messaging. The pair go to visit an underwater city, once a great wonder, but now turned into a chintzy tourist attraction by a corporation operating as a quasi-official branch of the government. The local economy is depressed, totally dependent upon tourism. Someone, however, is sabotaging the systems, causing leaks in the shielding protecting the system. It's only a matter of time before things get out of hand. Like much of Davies-era DW, it's brisk, entertaining, and only a little preachy.
