This week sees the airing of Human Nature on BBC1. Written by Paul Cornell, this episode is an adaptation of his highly acclaimed novel. I remember those many moons ago when I first read the novel. It was highly compelling and really hit home, especially since it followed up the heart wrenching Sanctuary. One wonders what will be the reason to compell the Doctor to live the life of a human. In the novel, it was a want for understanding of the trauma Bernice was experiencing the loss of Guy. Martha has not experienced such a loss recently, the closest thing that she has had is a fling in an escape pod... which resulted in a quick peck.
It is amazing that so many elements from the original story have carried over onto the screen. Everything from character names to occupations are the same, which leaves one to wonder if the Tardis is going to leave this story with a new feline crew member.
