Boom Town is the eleventh episode of the first series of the British
science fiction television programme Doctor Who. The episode was first
broadcast on BBC One on 4 June 2005. It was written by executive
producer Russell T Davies and directed by Joe Ahearne.The episode is
set in Cardiff in the early 21st century, six months after the 2005
episode "World War Three". In the episode, the criminal alien Slitheen
named "Margaret Blaine" (Annette Badland) attempts to gain her freedom
after being captured and detained by the alien time traveller the
Ninth Doctor (Christopher Eccleston)."Boom Town" was a replacement
episode for a story that was to be written by Paul Abbott, but he had
to abandon the script because he had other commitments. Davies decided
to write a different story centred on bringing Badland's character
back from the fourth and fifth episodes of the series, "Aliens of
London" and "World War Three", as he had enjoyed her performances.
Primarily, Davies wanted to explore the consequences of the Doctor's
actions and question whether he had the right to sentence an enemy to
death. The episode was also intended to showcase Cardiff, where the
revived Doctor Who series is made, and where the episode was filmed in
February 2005. "Boom Town" was watched by 7.68 million viewers in the
United Kingdom and received mixed reviews from critics. Boom Town (Doctor Who) Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
