I’ll allow I might have been overstating the case in last night’s slightly excited post about Doctor Who. After all, Russell’s current ‘incarnation’ includes ‘73 Yards’.
Still, ‘Lux’ was tons of fun.
I just watched the latest Doctor Who episode, ‘Lux’. It was gloriously meta. Who needs fourth walls? And with a love note to the fandom in the middle.
The best episode RTD has done, certainly in this incarnation. IMHO, obviously.
I should note it’s Petroc Trelawny’s last day on the BBC Radio 3 Breakfast show today. I’ll miss his dulcet tones, and especially his weird pronunciation of ‘Bach’.
