Quotes The Doctor : You know when grown-ups tell you everything's going to be fine, and you think they're probably lying to make you feel better? Young Amy : Yes. User reviews 37 Review. Top review. A promising opening. The secret of Doctor Who's longevity is his ability to regenerate. It's also the secret of the programme's longevity. Every few years there's the chance to reset everything, tweak the format, fix what needs fixing.
The challenge for the production team is not to lose what was working. At the same time, he's inherited a show that's in pretty good shape, despite a few obvious flaws. Russell T. Davies resurrected a cult programme, made it essential family viewing, and attracted top quality production and performing talent.
But his version was a bit prone to grandstanding when understatement would have been better let's face it, all his dials went up to 11, and most of them only went down to 8 ; it was good at setup but more interested in the character relationships than resolving its plots in a coherent manner; and the attempts at setting up a series-long story arc were pretty ham-fisted.
Oh, and the arrangement of the theme music lacked otherworldliness. It may sound like a small point, but Dr Who has one of the great TV themes and it deserves to be handled properly.
So as an episode, this one has a lot to do, and for the most part it delivers. The plot, without giving too much away, isn't up there with Moffat's and by extension, Who's best like "Blink", but provides a strong enough framework for everything else that needs to happen. The basic premise is creepy, and opens up to provide both small scale and large scale jeopardy for the Doctor and Earth.
More importantly, it packs a lot of character development into a single episode in an unforced manner and tees up a lot of layers to explore in the rest of the series.
The way the Doctor overcomes the threat is tidy and functional. One element requires a little suspension of disbelief but there was a sense of logic and conviction that a lot of RTD-era episodes lacked. We also got some hints as to the plot arc for the series, properly built into the script and not tacked on as, say, random Ood prophecies. It's very early days for Matt Smith, but the Doctor's Gallifreyan mantle sits easily on his shoulders and he delivered his lines with a confidence that belies both his age and his experience in the role.
Actually, delivered is a bit harsh. Nailed would be more like it. With the Tardis wrecked, and the sonic screwdriver destroyed, the new Doctor has just 20 minutes to save the whole world. The Doctor takes Amy to the distant future, where she finds Britain in space.
Starship UK houses the future of the people as they search for a new home. As Amy explores, she learns a deadly truth. From the terrifying future of the United Kingdom to one of the darkest chapters of its past - World War Two. The Doctor and Amy find themselves in a top-secret cabinet war room deep beneath the London streets.
The mysterious River Song is back in the Doctor's life- but can he trust her? Trapped among an army of Weeping Angels, the Doctor and his friends must try to escape through the wreckage of a crashed space liner - but in the forest vault, Amy Pond finds herself under a yet more deadly attack.
Desiccated corpses, terror in the canal, and the sinister House of Calvierri - the Doctor takes Amy and Rory for a romantic mini-break, but 16th Century Venice is not as it should be.
It's been 5 years since Amy Pond last travelled with the Doctor. When he lands in her garden again, on the eve of the birth of her first child, she finds herself facing a heart-breaking choice - one that will change her life for ever. It's and the most ambitious drilling project in history has reached deeper beneath the Earth's crust than man has ever gone before - but now the ground itself is fighting back.
It is the most important day in the history of Earth: the dawn of a new age of harmony or the start of its final war. The Doctor must face his most difficult challenge yet. Terror lurks in the cornfields of Provence, but only a sad and lonely painter can see it.
