I love it when Doctor Who leans into liminal and body horror. It always feels like a treat to see such striking and visceral imagery in a popularist, family drama. The No-Things are already an all time classic enemy and I can’t wait to see them return at some point.

The only person I got an autograph from at the Dr Who 50th Anniversary convention was Gabriel Woolf - he signed my ‘Pyramids of Mars’ DVD. As he leaned forward to pose for a picture, he whispered, “Bow before the might of Sutekh”, in THE voice. I creased. Lovely bloke.

I’m way more on board with this whole thing knowing the script states this is a hangover from Maestro’s meddling. But given that explanation was left on the page and wasn’t even hinted at in the broadcast episode, I’m still erring on the side of, “What the feck was that?!”

If potato-headed monsters not being able to shoot their laser guns straight while running through the back lanes of an alien occupied Liverpool while chasing comedian John Bishop is something that you’re getting frustrated about, Dr Who may not be the show for you. Just saying.

William Russell elevated the part he was given, considering the role was created to be the action hero in place of the elderly lead. Ian became much more than that. His charm and warmth radiated from the screen. A bonafide television legend. RIP.
