We now know that Karvanista worked for the Division – the mysterious Time Lord organisation that the Doctor may have worked for before their mind was wiped and they were turned into the William Hartnell “First” Doctor that we know and love. And there was some of that in chapter one. Jodie Whittaker and executive producer Matt Strevens have hinted strongly that we will get some sort of resolution – or at least further exploration – of the Timeless Child storyline. The tiny bit of dialogue between them in chapter one suggested to me that their days as comic relief may not be over, however. The redesign of the Sontarans saw them go back to their original 70s look, and caused speculation that they would once again be a mighty warrior race, rather than the butt of a lot of jokes. There wasn’t much more to his character than having weird alien stuff happen to him, and responding with sardonic comments. She was not shy about challenging the Doctor about the Time Lord keeping secrets, and confident enough with alien tech to get Dan out of his booby-trapped cage.Īs for Dan, I didn’t dislike him, but didn’t particularly warm to him either. Yasmin has clearly toughened up a bit since the end of the last episode. Seven billion dogs save planet Earth from being destroyed by the Flux, while loads of the Doctor’s old enemies knock about in the background.

It felt like quite a slight story about Karvanista, interspersed with what could have been the cold openers for five or six other episodes.

#DOCTOR WHO LAST CHRISTMAS STREAMING VF SERIES#
But, despite the title, the show didn’t lean into Halloween much at all.ĭid the episode work to set up the series and as a standalone story? The jury is out. I have long clamoured for a Doctor Who Halloween special that did for the imagery of Halloween what the early Christmas specials did for the festive season, with their robot Santas and killer Christmas trees. The episode was big on introducing characters and setting up a disparate set of situations – via some gorgeous CGI of outer space and planetary destruction – but didn’t have much of a story to tell. Then we found out that this season would be an interlinked six-parter (a surprise), both Jodie Whittaker (not a surprise) and Chris Chibnall (quite a surprise) were leaving, Russell T Davies would be coming back as showrunner (a jaw-dropper) in a co-production deal between the BBC and Bad Wolf (a new twist), and apparently Sony is trying to purchase Bad Wolf (omg what now?).Īn emotional roller-coaster for sure, and that’s without taking into account that when we last saw the Tardis fam, Ryan (Tosin Cole) and Graham (Bradley Walsh) were back on top of that Yorkshire hill – Ryan trying to ride his bike – having left a rather maudlin Yasmin (Mandip Gill) to carry on travelling alone with the 13th Doctor (Whittaker).Īnd so on to a new series and an opener, the Halloween Apocalypse, which wasted absolutely no time in introducing us to Dan (John Bishop). R egular readers may recall that over the summer I went rogue and suggested that if the BBC couldn’t deliver a radically revamped template for Doctor Who for the 2020s, it would be better off canning it.
