As you know, I've been a little disappointed with Doctor Who series 3. It's just been far too silly. I LIKE silliness, and even I've thought it was all too silly and predictable.
Well... these last two episodes, Human Nature and Family of Blood, have impressed me no end.
We have a scathing anti war message, complicated emotional stories and a Doctor defenseless. But none of these concepts drag on, nor bore you, as we also have a determined Martha, creepy scarecrows and non stop action. One scene has the boys of the school shooting down the scarecrows with machine guns and then, just when you are thinking this is not very Doctor Who, Mr Smith (the Doctor in human form) orders a retreat and runs away. He might bring death and destruction where ever he goes but the Doctor does not enjoy it.
LOVED IT.

Dr. Who, silly? I wouldn't say the current edition is silly, but I have been expecting guest appearances any minute by the TeleTubbies.
ReplyDeleteEpisode 13 -- Laa-Laa Eats the Tardis!
Jon Pertwee was never silly. He was a classically trained actor. He once played Kin Lear.
Although Eastenders has been featured the Teletubbies are still in negotiations. Tinky Winky is said to be demanding a Prada handbag, but Russell T Davies just won't budge.
ReplyDeleteJon Pertwee was never silly??? Worzel Gummidge was delightfully silly and one of my fave childrens shows. Mr Pertwee will forever be Worzel to me...
