1x02 The Stolen Child
In which there are lots of pretty shots of the countryside, a decent twist in the whodunnit, and Gerry Driscoll gets his much-deserved comeuppance. Hurrah!
(The series was original screened in Ireland as three two-parters in January 2007, January 2008 and April 2009, but ITV are showing them all as one series of three films.)

OK, it's a video, not an article, but it's journalism so that's kind of the remit of this section. Anyway, this is a nice nearly-20-minute piece interviewing Tennant and RTD together about their feelings and experiences as they leave Doctor Who.
I'm normally annoyed by video interviews online -- I'd much rather skim through a transcription thanks -- but these two are so personable, and have such a great rapport when put together, that it's a joy to watch. Some good questions are asked, though there are several that are sadly absent (for example, Tennant is asked if he'd return in the future, but RTD isn't asked if he'd like to write for the show again).
