TV Review: Doctor Who: Dreamland

This is an (2005) animated Doctor Who with David Tennant portraying the Doctor.  This movie is intriguing because it deals with Area 51, Dreamland.  When the Doctor hears of Dreamland his response is, "I've always wanted to go there."  This movie portrays the Western Shoshoni and is close to where Sheri and I use to live.  In the script they also mention the Bear River Massacre.  I don't know if this was a mistake, as this involved the Northern Shoshoni.  I digress.  Back to the story.  The Doctor visits a restaurant where they have an old space junk, and men-in-black come for it.  They run, but discover robot men after them, and finally a colonel takes them to Area 51 where he intends to erase their memories. They discover a cockroach type people working with the Colonel in a misguided attempt to save the world from some crashed aliens.  Turns out the device is a genetic bomb--to entirely erase a species.  It was designed to destroy the Viperox, the large cockroaches, who destroyed the world of the crashed aliens.  They are a husband and wife.  The bomb can only be armed by the husband who designed it.  The Doctor and his cohorts escape the Colonel, discover a large invading force of cockroaches, and are rescued by tribal elders.  Again recaptured the Doctor convinces the Colonel he is deceived, which brings on the war.  The Doctor does not use the genetic bomb, but chases the cockroaches away with the noise of his sonic screwdriver, amplified by the TARDIS.  This is a cool exciting ride and yes, I lone the British accents
