Unless you switch off history.
I think it’s a great response to all the cries of “just tell us a story” that started in the latter Moffat era when it was all trying to be a bit too clever. And so so nice to have Murray Gold back doing the score, that was definitely a missing part in the Chibnal times.
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
The episode showing the positive side of faith as well, with the little girl's faith helping her with her terrible loss, seemed balanced to me, but YMMV.
OK, first totally classic episode since "The Doctor Falls" waaay back in Season 10, possibly even before that.
A folk-horror tale with elements of classic British ghost stories, it's also a showcase for Millie Gibson as Ruby, spending her life alone as she gradually realises her purpose and how she got into her situation, all steering her back to a certain conclusion.
Did RTD manage to out-Moffat Moffat this series as well? This one, probably deliberately, makes you hark back to stone cold sci-fi classic "Blink" - and while it's not THAT good, it's one of the best ever "doctor lite" stories (a story they write in to give the Doctor a break from filming, we will get a "Ruby lite" one as well probably).
Top stuff.
Just watched it and i can honestly say i cant bear RTD’s stories at all.
There really is a twist at the end of every episode - "Susan Twist" has appeared in every episode since Ncuti debuted,
So fans are now expecting a "Susan Twist" - which strongly suggests two things to me...
1. Susan Twist is playing whoever it was who picked up the Master at the end of the Giggle, and she does really good nasty, she was the evil ambulance.
2. Brian May's Mrs is the Doctor's grand-daughter, Susan.
Right - after typing that twice lets hope I can post it this time.
What was said to everyone who tried to speak to old Ruby? I'd assume the truth, that they were all characters in the loop and not real people, and they were trapped in Ruby's spell... that would scare me.
But not everything needs explaining to the nth degree, it was a folk horror story. They didn't explain much of anything in that film "Men", or in a lot of other folk horrors... it's just mess with the folk horror thingies, and bad shit goes down.
But YMMV, they didn't explain the monster in Midnight either...
