Doctor Who (Series 11)

I’ve got mixed thought about our first female Doctor. The way that she plunged onto her screens as she deals with her usual bout of amnesia after a regeneration was fantastic as always. And the thing that I was dreading didn’t happen; which were too many gender jokes. What was odd was that I felt that there was too much emphasis on other ethnic cultures rather than the traditional past and present. The major change which we all knew beforehand was that there wasn’t to be any traditional monsters; and I thought that this would be a terrible shame. Hell, even some monsters that were introduced in the last series would have been interesting. This did create a case of too many origin stories; but it also made the show a lot less predictable and scary too; as we didn’t know what the motif would be of each baddie and how they would react. The show’s last episode didn’t really seem like a finale; just another baddie that we’d met earlier. A great sigh of relief came through with the festive special though.
