Withdrawn schoolgirl Jasmine is convinced nothing can harm her, befriended by the fairies at the bottom of the garden, fairies that Jack's friend Estelle can also see.
I have always considered Small worlds to be one of the best episodes from Series one, it's very nicely paced, it's interesting, and I love the idea of the fairies having a twisted side. When something so sweet and innocent, like fairies it taken and twisted, and made into something so bleak, that gives you something to ponder.
I loved Estelle's story, it gave us more of an insight into Jack as well, beautifully portrayed by Eve Pearce, a shame they didn't expand o her character a little more. I always think of her as The Blackmailer in Poirot, Madame Giselle.
With Russell T Davies now back at the helm of Dr Who, I wonder if he'll consider bringing it back, it really did offer up something a little different, maybe even with new cast members.
8/10.
