| The Story |
|
After her capture, a dazed and confused Lucie finds herself in the coffee lounge of Hulbert Logistics - the company she had been for a job interview with just before meeting the Doctor.
At first she believes that her time with the Doctor was all but a dream, but when he re-appears after receiving a visit from a Timelord, she soon accepts his existence.
Hulbert Logistics is no ordinary company as the Doctor discovers. Locked away is Hulbert, who reveals to the Doctor that the Humans he employs are clearing a planet of its residents. Unfortunately those residents are the evil Cybermen, and when the Doctor lowers a viewing platform’s defences, he makes an error of judgement that allows the Cybermen to take control. Hulbert quickly sides with the Cybermen to save his own skin. After the Doctor's capture, Lucie formulates a plan, and, with Malcolm's help, rescues him. After finding a Quantum crystallizer, the Doctor returns to the TARDIS using the time ring. Who is really behind the destruction of the Cybermen? |

Doctor: Special feature on that model. Shielding from alien comms scans. And, I get fifty off-peak minutes a day free!
Headhunter: Look. I have guns, and, if you're not quiet, I will kill you! |
| Editor's Review |
|
So far ‘Human Resources’ is a strange but exciting tale which takes the mediocre office job to a whole new level. Jerry is very much a David Brent character, who,
rather than motivating his staff, annoys them. Lucie seems to be becoming more like Rose and takes charge when she ends up on some strange planet's surface.
Part two is not as exciting as the first, but there is a good plot twist near the end of the episode and we finally get told why Lucie was taken into protective custody. It's been another good series and I look forward to hearing more. (Dan Ludlow) |
