As far as the gas drawing out the Gelth - imagine you have a fish in a fishbowl (The Gelth within the deceased) and you drop the fishbowl into a river (the room flooded with gas). Will the fish stay in the fish bowl where it is cramped? Most likely not. It would probably leave the fishbowl for the larger environment available to it so it can move about freely.

One thing I like about this episode is Rose challenging the Doctor over his plan to give the Gelth what they want. One of the reasons why I think Rose had a better dynamic with the 9th Doctor then the 10th is because 9 and Rose weren't afraid to challenge each other when one was in the wrong. 10 and Rose were too blindly in love with each other to do that, and would let each other get away with murder. Anyway, enjoyed the review. Looking forward to next time.

Jo Grant was in fact the first companion to come back to her home after trips on the TARDIS if you think about it.

The Unquiet Dead is such an Underrated Historical Story. I love the characters, the world building it does, the beautiful scenery, and the story. To me, this is the Unofficial Christmas special for Christopher Eccleston.

"The things you see, The darkness, The big Bad Wolf!"

Ehh I'm sure it's nothing.

This was the episode that finally made me a fan. Not only am I a huge fan of Charles Dickens, but I also love how he was portrayed in this story. After this, I was all in and enjoyed the rest of the season very much.

Im late with the comment but and im sure people have answered: by filling the room with gas, it gives the gelth a suitable atmosphere to float around in. One ambassador even says "Failing, atmosphere hostile!" when outside with Charles so it gives the Gelth the room to fly around in and ditch the corpses.

I could be entirely wrong and I'm sure there's some explanation in the episode, but for why the Gelf leave the bodies with a lot of gas, I like to compare it to Gridlock. The people in that episode need their cars to travel to their new homes but because of how many cars there are, they are incapable of doing so since they can't see where they're going. By having so much of the thing you need to move, it almost forces you to do the opposite. In this case, there is so much gas the Gelf are forced to travel through it. I know it doesn't make a lot of sense, but it's what I came up with on the spot.

The Unquiet Dead was the first episode of revived Doctor Who to have me genuinely terrified. The Gelth's screams may be too loud, but they still send chills up and down my spine all these years later.

This was my first episode of Who. Always holds a special place in my heart.

"Is The Unquiet Dead a Christmas special?"

My theory on why flooding the room with gas drew the Gelf out of the corpses is that it's a matter of pressurization, like an airplane. The decomposing bodies are pressurized with gas, hence why corpses bloat, and that pressurized system can contain the gelf. But if you fill the room with gas, equalizing the pressure between the room and the inside of the bodies, there's no longer anything holding the gelf inside the bodies, so they start permiating into the room. It even explains why we can see the blue gelf gas coming out of the bodies while their piloting them because it's not a perfect pressurisation like an air tank, some gas will escape

I always overlooked this one but it’s JUST as good as every other story in this series!

Omg thank you I thought I was alone in thinking this was an underrated gem. I really do like this episode, despite some pretty small flaws, but my favourite thing is Rose and The Doctor butting heads about the morality of the situation. It shows Rose's very understandable concern, as well as The Doctor and his efforts to save a species after causing the death of his own, as well as showing how alien he is with how willing he is to let the gelth use the bodies, and how harsh and cold he is with his explanation. Such a good episode

This one has definitely grown on me the older I get. As a kid, I thought it was boring and too talky but rewatching it now, I really enjoy it.

Out of all the episodes in Series 1, I haven't watched The Unquiet Dead and The Long Game. This review honestly makes me want to watch it to see what I missed.

Here's a fun bit of trivia the character of Gabriel Sneed was originally envisioned to be much younger having David Tennant to be cast in the role of Sneed but Gabriel was later reworked to be an elderly man.

Awgh, I'm reminded of just how lovely looking this story was. One of the best looking from the season

Up next: Aliens of London and World War III. For that review, I'll be making myself a bet. If there isn't at least one reference to the current UK Conservative party, how "crestfallenly relevant" the subject matter is, or that episode being an example as to how supposedly "apolitical" the show was prior to Series 11, I'm going to be downing a full bottle of vodka.
