This was a very dark spin-off for
Doctor Who. It had some excellent well-thought out monsters which portrayed a viable
plot at the start of the series which gave you enough motive to see it through.
Then at the end you’re just as confused as the characters in the show; shocked
by what you’ve seen and trying to make sense of it all. I hated the fact that
gay love is thrust into your face as you watch. Tanya’s lack of social skills
combined with her advanced intelligence isn’t really made clear until much
later in the series; so we don’t really get to know how she came to Coal Hill
or learn much about her. The characters are far too serious apart from the
sadistic sarcasm of Quill but her vicious delivery is portrayed as more of an
insult than a joke. It’s a shame that future episodes were cancelled as it
looked like it was properly getting to sync up with the rest of the Whoniverse.
