The Witch's Familar [spoilers]

Sunday 27 September 2015

This week we were at home for the full Doctor Who watching experience.  Having watched it, we weren't sure what to make of it, so watched it again.

I'm still not sure what to make of it.  There were some good bits:

• Missy's pointy stick
• The Doctor's entrance, with cup of tea
• Clara reprising (sort of) her Oswin role from Asylum of the Daleks
• Missy channelling Michael Caine at the end of the Italian Job - I think she even sounded a bit cockney.

But I found the Doctor and Davros scenes dragged on a bit, and I'm not convinced that if the Daleks had rebuilt Skaro since the Time War they would have had time for their sewers to get in quite such a mess...

But the biggest no-no was the sunglasses.  The campaign to bring back the screwdriver starts here.
