Watching Doctor Who 40/14/1.4 73 Yards
May. 25th, 2024 07:31 pmI'm writing this an hour or so after watching it early in the wee hours of the night. But will hold back from posting it properly until after the UK BBC1 Saturday evening airing.
In a nutshell I really liked it. A satisfying crossover of folk horror and alternative history, with hefty elements of Sapphire & Steel, The Woman in Black and much more besides. And an absolute tour de force of acting from Millie Gibson. To get into more nitty gritty, and I recommend only reading this after you've seen the episode: ( spoilers ) I expect this episode will make the Hugo award shortlist next year. I will certainly be nominating it.
