New New Doctor Who
Apr. 3rd, 2010 06:33 pmGoodness gracious me, a Doctor Who episode that was actually good. The whole concept of such a phenomenon existing had fallen so far into unbelievability recently that it's a huge surprise to see it happen again.
It contained:
( Under a cut, as promised )
I got the feeling that the new President of Hiding Behind the Sofa was holding himself back for a slightly gentle introduction to the series - this wouldn't have required the usual "Warning, this episode was written by Steven Moffat" note for family viewing - but it's nice to know that he has the potential to fulfill the programme's intention of making its younger and more nervous viewers lose a bit of sleep.
I think that even after the specials over the last year which hovered at some level below diabolical that I'd possibly label "really stupid", you can consider me reconvinced once more. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens to this new direction with Matt Smith.
Ace.
