The End Of The World

At last! At last! At last!

Credible science fiction to expunge the PAST!

Auntie Beeb has delivered Dr Who, most credible

Glossy looking, witty, sharp with ne'er a moment dull.

Rose didn't scream but looked logically bemused

And worried at such creatures on a ship broken and fused.

Had she made the right decision human plotline nicely bubbling

Under the 'science-fiction' story most troubling.

With effective links to Episode 1, continuity 

Succeeded to make us feel as we too were on Rose's journey.

Simple sets were few but stopped the endless wandering

Of previous Doctors through that 'ship' again re-visiting.

A super portrayal of the Doctor we were given

Who performed on so many levels, being character driven,

Witty, charming, angry, sad, 

Lonely, amused, amusing, bad!!!

So many layers, slowly being unpeeled

With historical, explanatory and emotional traits revealed.

We convincingly learn more about his background, his timely role

His loneliness as the last of his race, one fish swimming into the shoal!

We have become so used to good sci-fi- from America imported

That this is the first time we have got 'it' 'sorted'!!

Our effects and backgrounds were up there with the best

Production values to match the rest.

The Blake's Seven music over the spaceship sounded dated 

That or me with memory saturated.

4 legged spiders and villians were menacing on the space station 

With all horror of death off screen and left to my imagination.

So all in all, slower with many themes and good effects

Leaving many questions, hope, and curiosity as to what comes next!
