If you can’t do what Arrow does, then leave the party.
Doctor Who 30.12
Penelope Wilton, John Barrowman. A loud, frantic episode jam-packed with exciting guest characters. And not much else.
The story, for example, goes nowhere. Which get very frustrating about half-way through. Self-indulgent. 7/10
Doctor Who 29.12
John Simm. Again, there is much here to remind one of old school DW. It’s thrilling stuff, even if it’s (disappointingly) little more than a set-up for the next part.
Simm is astonishingly good as The Master, however, and Alexandra Moen is mesmerizingly sexy as his wife. 8/10
Doctor Who 29.11
Derek Jacobi. Fast-paced and very exciting. Structured like old school DW, with a group of people in isolation, surrounded by an enemy of some sort. Stories like this are vintage Doctor Who.
More important than that: this episode cleverly uses events from this season, and from the series’ distant past, to deliver a superb twist at the very end. 10/10
