Love
and Monsters is a very interesting and exciting episode from the second series
since the 2005 reboot. The most interesting thing about this episode is simply
that it doesn’t feature the Doctor much at all. Though there have been a few
episodes which have followed a similar formula in subsequent series, this is
the first time we see a storyline play out like this one. Rather than a story centring
around the Doctor, Rose and their adventures this episode follows the lives of a group of people who have all have
been touched by the Doctor in some way, exploring the effect he can have on the
people around him whether good or bad.
