The Parting of the Ways
I thought I’d better comment on Doctor Who, now the series has reached its conclusion. What brilliant TV it was!
The BBC clearly threw some money at the drama this time around. Gone were the wobbly sets, dodgy effects and variable acting. In came Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper, enveloped in good stories and surrounded by state of the art CGI.
Out of the 13 episodes, there was only one weak story - obviously just a filler. The rest were great entertainment. Last weekend’s finale was especially good, finally revealing exactly what Bad Wolf - a re-occuring theme - was all about, ending much internet speculation.
Unfortunately, the series is now over. Good news though - another series is on the way (filming starts in Cardiff this week I think) and there’ll be a Christmas special. Have the BBC finally rediscovered something that works in the Saturday evening slot?
