My love for parallel worlds in sci-fi may make me biased, but I love this episode. I'm glad we get another look at Rose and her dad, but this time it's not really her dad. I love that we get a look at how both Rose and Mickey react to seeing something they aren't able to have. For Mickey, it's his grandma, and for Rose, of course, it's her dad. I'm glad this episode expands even more on Mickey's feelings on being in the TARDIS. His character arc has been slowly coming since season 1, but it was really kickstarted in School Reunion. This transformation comes to a peak in Rise of the Cybermen and Age of Steel. There isn't much to say about this episode, it's a regular plot of the cybermen taking over the world, only this time in a parallel world. It's so simple, but it's done so well that makes it, in my opinion, a classic: 9.0/10.
