There is one key thing you need to know about this week’s Doctor Who: the titular character isn’t in it very much.
Yep, that’s right – it’s another ‘Doctor Lite’ episode, of a sort. But where last week’s excellent 73 Yards was more in the vein of 2008’s ‘Turn Left’, where the show’s co-star takes the reins for an incredible showcase of their prowess, this is more in the vein of one of the most famous Doctor Who episodes of them all – 2007’s ‘Blink’.
With 15th Doctor Ncuti Gatwa’s Doctor Who filming schedule overlapping with his final work on Netflix’s Sex Education, these sorts of episodes were ultimately a necessity of production – but often that need creates something beautiful. Pressure makes diamonds, as the saying goes.
