I agree; that was on my list of ludicrously implausible issues. The one that got me most bothered, however, was the apparent total lack of any effect on the plant Earth of having another whacking great planet materialise right up close - and it was meant to be an inhabited planet and didn't look like it could be. I lost count of the number of times I wanted to shout "physics" at RTD. I am very grateful he made the series popular again and very, very glad he had David Tennant in it, but I shall be relieved to have another writer in charge.
