  From A to 7Q - Jagrafess   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Little is known about the Mighty Jagrafess of the Holy Hadrojassic Maxarodenfoe, except that it seems to be a unique being (a title, rather than a species name, perhaps?) and it is brilliant enough to control and manipulate (or, as it would put it, "shape and guide") the entire human race to suit its purposes.
The Jagrafess is itself a servant of the Daleks, who installed it at the very top of Satellite Five around the year 199,909.
The Jagrafess controls Satellite Five for 91 years, manipulating the news broadcast to the human race in order to create a climate of fear.

 JAGRAFESS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
With such a long lifespan, the metabolic rate of the Jagrafess generated such an immense heat that the creature had to be kept cool at all times.
The Jagrafess oversaw operations on Floor 500 at the nerve centre of Satellite 5, the news network of the Great and Bountiful Human Empire.
Installed there by a consortium of banks and assisted by the Editor, the Jagrafess acted as editor-in-chief, using the media output of Satellite 5 to manipulate the behaviour of the entire Human race.

 Television Without Pity The Long Game
The Editor tries to calm the Jagrafess down, as it screams and roars, complaining about how "impossible" it is for a "member of staff" to have "an idea." Got it, got it, got it.
The Jagrafess begins to pulse, horrible and red, and the Editor finally snivels his resignation and turns to get the hell out of there.
Interesting, because of the whole ninety-year thing, like, it was made explicit that the Jagrafess seemingly doesn't have time-travel capability, but the whole ninety-year thing implies that somebody with time-travel capabilities is indirectly responsible for this, because in a linear mode, there's no such thing as the retarded development the Doctor is talking about.

For the past ninety years, humankind has been controlled and guided by his superior, the monstrous creature known as the Mighty Jagrafess of the Holy Hadrojassic Maxarodenfoe (or "Max") and funded by a consortium of banks.
The Doctor notices Cathica watching, and audibly observes that the Jagrafess' metabolism generates a lot of heat, which is why it needs to be vented from the upper floors.
He snaps his fingers and closes her connection port, smiling proudly at her — she used what she knew and what the Doctor told her to defeat the Jagrafess, proving that humans are not the sheep the Editor thought they were.

She finds out the truth: that the Jagrafess has been manipulating and holding back humanity for 90 years and decides to reveal this information to everyone else...
The heat causes the Jagrafess to explode with a messy pop and humanity is back on track again.
The CGI effects were a similar mix of the inspired and the pedestrian (brilliant for the forhead opening info-spike and the shots of Satellite 5 in space, and awful for the Jagrafess monster at the end).

 Jagrafess - Tardis - a Wikia wiki
The Mighty Jagrafess of the Holy Hadrojassic Maxarodenfoe (often shortened to Max, usually just known as the Jagrafess) is an ancient, enormous, grey-skinned monster which contains a huge amount of heat, fat, muscle and water, and needs to stay cool in order to remain alive.
The heat from level 500 (where the Jagrafess was installed) was channeled away to the rest of the station, allowing the Jagrafess to remain in a cool climate.
Since the Jagrafess could operate Satellite Five's controls by itself, a human known only as The Editor to carry out its orders.

Where the reapers in Father's Day were monsters in the classic vein, lacking character and motive and simply destroying, the threat posed by the Jagrafess seemed a rather paltry one.
I agree about the paltriness of the Jagrafess, but I still thought that episode was a lot of fun.
Part of the problem with the Jagrafess is that we weren't given any idea of who or what it was and how a big, vulnerable blob had managed to subdue mankind.

Now, the Doctor doesn't just have to try to topple the Jagrafess' control - he also has to save his own hash in the process since the Editor has discovered who the Time Lord really is and what his advanced knowledge and technology can do for him.

 Quantum Sagas: Television
When they arrive, the Editor has an evil-but-charming speech prepared about the real head honcho (Editor-in-Chief), a stalactite-toothed, ceiling-mounted blob called a "Jagrafess", who has controlled humanity for the past 100 years by way of Satellite 5 and the media.
The Jagrafess needs to be kept cool, but generates a lot of heat via its metabolism, so they pump it downstairs and away from Floor 500.
Suki and her Freedom Foundation knew about this and she was able to successfully infiltrate the Satellite as an employee, but apparently her progress there wasn't well planned, because she totally botched the mission.

The Jagrafess has ruled the media empire for nearly a century and is three thousand years old.
Hot air is pumped into floor 500 causing the Jagrafess to scream in agony, plunging the station into chaos and allowing the Doctor and Rose to escape.
(An interesting aside here- is she in control of her actions or as the Jagrafess intervened to stop his mouthpiece from deserting him?) The Editor looks up just as the Jagrafess blows up, smothering Floor 500 in a layer of gristle.

Then the Jagrafess looms over the Doctor, all teeth and whirls, and Samuel jumps back away from the screen.
It wasn't so full of monsters, but it was really effective they used the editor and the jagrafess.
My only complaint is that the chips look discusting because you can see their brain (not that Adam had a very big one).

Also introduced in this episode, are Eva Saint Julienne aka Suki Macrae Cantrell (Anna Maxwell-Martin- Bessie in 'North and South'), Adam's Mum, (Judy Holt) and The Mighty Jagrafess of the Holy Hadrojassic Maxarodenfoe: a wet, pulsating mountain of red meat, sixty feet tall, faceless but breathing.

For a superb piece of acting watch her in the scene in the control suite when The Editor reveals her real identity - just the way she looks when she pulls out the gun shows you that this is a different character to the way we thought.
It’s not entirely inconceivable that her and/or The Editor survived the exploding Jagrafess.
Ah yes, the The Mighty Jagrafess of the Holy Hadrojassic Maxarodenfoe.

The Doctor is fuming about the fact that his decision to bring Adam along has backfired so dramatically, with the young man’s decision to have a major operation and try to access all the information in the Satellite 5 database smacking not only of short-sightedness but also of foolhardiness.
Satellite Five is interestingly lit, and I enjoyed the contrast between the bright Floor 139 and the frozen decadence of Floor 500, neglected apart from a small area for the Editor and the Mighty Jagrafess of the Holy Hadrojassic Maxarodenfoe.
Personally, I thought this could have been messed up quite easily, but judging by the effect it had on my six-year old niece, it was very well realised indeed, as she jumped out of her seat when it lunged down at the Doctor and Rose.

Like all the stories which came before, and all those to come, the story had two things: A reference to the Bad Wolf and a plot revolving around a threat to Earth.
In this instance it was clearly stated that the The Mighty Jagrafess of the Holy Hadrojassic Maxarodenfoe should not have been there and it distrupted the time line to the tune of ninety years.
However the real significant of this alien menace was brought out in a comment by Russell T Davies in this episodes companion Documentary Doctor Who Confidential, in which he said that it would eventually be revealed who had put the Jarafess in place.

No surprise then to learn that this media distributing factory is really corrupt and lead by The Editor (played nearly to perfection by Simon Pegg) and a disgusting roof creature named the Jagrafess, Suki’s attempts of putting things right only end up with her being made into a mindless operator.
Relegating The Doctor and Rose from The Editor and Jagrafess until the final act should’ve been advantageous to their face off but sadly the one we got on display lacked bite.
This is because humankind is now being controlled by the Mighty Jagrafess of the Holy Hadrojassic Maxarodenfoe (or Max for short).

Enter "Spaced's" Simon Pegg as The Editor (Ooh scary) who’s in charge of the all powerful satellite station that's been manipulating the populace and holding humanity back at the behest of the Jagrafess, a nasty alien whose motives are...
Throw in your cannon fodder characters and a generic female reporter and it all adds up to not a lot to be honest.
The Jagrafess is undoubtedly visually impressive but it's motivation's pretty unclear it's pretty much from the "Alien of the week" school that might play better with younger viewers I guess.

The design is bizarre, with very retro sets that like a nineteen-eighties attempt to depict the future, with padded red leather walls, perforated metal seats, and junk food outlets.
The Jagrafess also looks quite good, although it does remind that the scripted reasons for keeping aliens out instead of trying to manipulate them like humans is more down to budgetary limitations than plot logic.
So many details annoy me here, from Rose's utter stupidity in forgetting the word "Jagrafess" seconds after it's been said several times, to the fact that yet again a character in a Davies script keeps uttering "Oh my god!" which is starting to feel like a lazy catchphrase.
