A card on Google Now from a news paper I don't trust has said that the new Doctor is going to be played by: ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! No idea if true, not sure how I feel if it is true. I find they are a little like Jim Carey in that I can't stand the vast majority of his work, but there are a few gems that are among some of my favourite films. I'm hoping for the latter, but fearing the former. (If true) |

Not my words but sums it up. A very sombre, measured series finale (or prequel to the 2022 specials depending on one's personal opinion). It was heartbreaking for Karvanista, the loss of his race, the way Jericho stoically accepted his fate was also very moving. I think we built up the characters of Bel and Vinder to be more important than they turned out to be because the series kept us guessing to its finale and there was so many fan theories flying round the internet. I do think they might return to the Whoniverse as is the case with the Grand Serpent. We needed some humour and we got that with our chocoholic Sontaran caught with his hand in the sweet jar. |

Legend of the Sea Devils I was away over the weekend and didn't even realise there was an Easter special until it appeared on the front page of the Iplayer. Which is probably just as well, given how much of an utter mess it is. It's certainly a visual treat, with lavish historical sets and costuming, although the sci-fi bits looked like they'd been hauled from O'Brien-era Crystal Maze and were a heck of let down compared to the rest of the design. There's definitely good ideas here, but no actual development or progression but just endless jumps from issue to resolution to another issue to another resolution. It's as if someone just had to idea to take one of the long serials from the classic series and chop together the first and last 3 minutes of each episode. Kids probably won't care about this and just enjoy the spectacle (pirate ships! sword fights! cannonballs!) but it left me a bit empty. The highlight was the single best pun I've heard on TV all year: ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! |

Probably a worrying symptom of how this show has fallen off my cultural radar (through no fault on the part of Whittaker I hasten to add) but I've only just remembered that there's a 90 minute special tomorrow. I think you have just realised this too. |

The Whoniverse is live from today , so basically all (existing) classic Who on the Iplayer (except the very first story) , all of new Who , and the spinoffs , plus some special 'Tales of the Tardis' with classic shows with some new 'in character' spots from the people involved (not watched any yet but have the first one set to go) |

Impressed that they are including the animated recreations of the missing episodes! I think I'll enjoy dipping into some old stories across the Doctors whilst they're available, sightseeing the must-sees rather than watching sequentially! |

Post subject: | Re: Doctor Who |
I enjoyed it a lot and I've been slowly falling out of love with Who since the middle of Matt Smith's run. The bump in SFX quality is quite a thing. You can really see where the Disney money is going. I reckon the days of wobbly sets and improvised costumes have been behind us for a while now, but the CGI in the latest episode is bloody seamless. The bad guys were genuinely threatening and harkened back nicley to one of my favourite episodes: Midnight. I've heard that the handover from 14 to 15 is going to be a bit more Timey-Wimey than usual, so I'm looking forward to that. One more thing: Hoping that Jodie doesn't become persona non grata after this. It'd be great to see her get involved in some specials or anniversaries in the future. It's be great to see Capaldi in the role again, now I think of it |

Bringing back David Tenant for more than a multi-Doctor episode feels like a real disservice to Ncuti Gatwa, taking all the attention away from what should be his moment. |

That's a thought that I had, but I'm willing to reserve judgment until I see how the narrative leads in to Ncuti's arrival. |
