… and ready for deployment in 45 seconds no less! Was that just a little bit of politics? Oh yes.
Last week I said:
Doctor Who grows up and enters its second childhood all at once.
Which is probably a fairly good reaction to the current state of British politics.
So this week we learnt how to hack into the Royal Navy from a flat on a South London council estate and launch a missile to blow up Number 10 (but it’s okay ‘cos only nasty aliens who want to nuke the planet and sell bits of it as scrap get killed) – This is proper Doctor Who: totally barking mad in a very British way. Love it.
And the stuff about vinegar and Hannibal was a nice reminder that way back in the mists of time DW had been envisioned as an educational programme.
The plot had holes you could drive a starship through but I just don’t care. And next week we get a Dalek. 😀
