Doctor Who Countdown – 3 days to go!
This year’s spring series of Doctor Who is shaping up to be a rollercoaster from start to finish. After we’ve experienced the thrills of Utah, the curses of the Black Spot and the mysteries of the Doctor’s wife, they’ll be no sign of things slowing down!
Up next will be Matthew Graham’s spooky two-parter, the first instalment of which is entitled The Rebel Flesh. Not much is known about its plot, however from the title we can guess that it’s got something to do with flesh rebelling.
Already that sounds like the makings of an epic Doctor Who story, and we’ve previously had glimpses of the rebellion beginning in the full length trailer. Scary stuff indeed…
In fact, Steven Moffat reaffirmed its ultra scare factor in his Radio Times episode guide, writing: “Get behind the sofa now – reserve your place”. Consider us warned!
So, from what we know and have seen from this episode so far, what do you think?
Break your silence in our ongoing Series 6 discussion, Silences, Rivers and Songs…
Looks interesting this one, a bit of body horror?? I’m a big fan of Life On Mars/Ashes To Ashes, but Graham’s only other Who ep so far, Fear Her, was a duffer; hopefully this one will be up to the standards he set on Life On Mars!
I’m not sure Doctor Who will ever scare me, probably because it’s not aimed at me, it has to be appropriate for the time slot and I’ve been desensitised by very violent horror films, lol.
But I am very much looking forward to Series 6. I know what you mean about “Fear Her” TWWL, but I’m still more worried about Mark Gatiss. I know most aren’t because of previous, but “Victory of The Daleks” is still fresh in my memory.
Series 6 is looking to be epic though, has the potential at least to be the best yet. As a fan and if it is, I can’t argue with that
@JC
I actually really liked Victory; it’s probably my favourite episode that Gatiss has written!
@JC
I liked Victory of the Daleks, although having said that, it felt very unnecessarily padded in certain areas
Fair enough, but for me, it was wrong for quite a few reasons. There were bits that were ok, but I think it was one of the weaker episodes of Series 5 and I’m not the only one if you read some of the fan reviews on other sites.
For me, he has ground to make up and I hope he does so in Series 6
