12/7/2023 0 Comments Doctor who flux cast 2021![]() ![]() We first saw a Dalek levitate up some stairs unassisted for sure in 1988’s Remembrance of the Daleks, although a gravitational disk had been used by the deadly pepperpots to fly in 1973’s Planet of the Daleks – and you could argue we saw one levitate out of the sand of the desert planet Aridius as early as 1965 in The Chase. Jodie Whittaker was wearing her reversed coat costume in the scenes where she was placed into the Fugitive Doctor’s memories.ĬGI Daleks floating through a forest rather avoids the historical problem of getting the props to work on rough terrain. The final words from the Doctor were “The Angel has the Tardis” – an obvious nod to “The Angels have the phone box” from Blink, a line good enough to go on a range of T-shirts. Photograph: James Pardon/BBC Studios Deeper into the vortex Yaz (Mandip Gill) sums up the conflict between her and the Doctor. The fact that it was a multi-species team on the mission also poses a question: is the Division even really a Time Lord organisation? Or something else that sometimes employs Time Lords?īarbara Flynn also made her first appearance as Awsok, the mysterious woman who seemed to give the impression she was running the universe – theories? Lupari must live for a very long time as a species if Karnavista was knocking about with the Doctor in the Division. I am not sure my kids have understood a single sentence he has uttered. ![]() He speaks as if he has leaked from an episode written by Mark Gatiss – a constant jumble of words showing off the writer’s 19th-century vocabulary. There didn’t seem any logic to him being in the Temple of Atropos last week in his one scene this week, he had a ray gun in the 1820s. Steve Oram’s Joseph Williamson again made a brief, but perplexing, appearance. Some thought the Mouri might turn out to be a Weeping Angels origin story – quantum-locked, linked to time? There had also been speculation Passenger might turn out to be housing Dan’s would-be girlfriend, Di (Nadia Albina), although older familiar faces (Sacha Dhawan? Timothy Dalton?) were bandied about. I enjoyed your theories below the line last week very much.

Sam Spruell’s Swarm had positively swaggered his way through the opening two chapters – he is easily one of the best “big bads” we have had in recent years on Doctor Who, absolutely relishing being evil for evil’s sake. Some younger viewers will surely be a little disturbed at the idea Angels can get at you from a video game, especially if you have to smash up your precious console to save yourself. I found the idea of a hidden Angel creeping up on Yaz via the mirrors on her police patrol car a nice twist on their usual approach. Weeping Angels were also used sparingly in this episode – but to much greater effect. They might have been in the trailer, but that barely counted as a cameo by the Cybermen. We didn’t get much more backstory to Dan (John Bishop), although we will presumably find out next week how he copes with loss. Relations between Yaz (Mandip Gill) and the Doctor (Jodie Whittaker) were more fraught than ever – with some sharp words between them as the Doctor continued on what seems to be a one-woman mission to uncover her past. Thaddea Graham’s Bel made her first appearance in chapter three.
