Honestly - the single best moment in this episode (and I'm not sure that Davies ever quite topped it anywhere in his run) is Rose in the 'junkyard' going into the TARDIS for the first time. And we don't see it. We see her face, her reaction, and then how she runs outside, stares at the Police Box, circles it and *only then* does the camera follow her inside. It's an astonishingly good sequence that never gets old. (And yes, then there's the really clever tonal and atmospheric shift that follows from that, which makes it even better.)
