Doctor Who: The Interstellar Song Contest Review
We take a proper look at Doctor Who’s sixth episode, which has sparked plenty of debate. There’s a lot to unpack. Some strong moments, but also a few frustrating missteps. We talk through the clumsy attempt at a capitalism allegory that doesn’t really land, and why Ryland actually worked well in a smaller role.
The Doctor’s emotional shifts are front and centre. At times they hit hard, at others they feel a bit off. Then there’s the surprise return of Susan, which opens up a whole new set of questions. The ending doesn’t offer many answers, especially with the return of the Rani and the growing mystery around b--generation.
We also get into the latest ratings, Ncuti Gatwa’s absence from Eurovision (with only a vague explanation), and the rumours swirling around the show’s future. Is a break coming? Who might take over next? We talk through the names being floated, the pros and cons, and try to make sense of the timeline which is starting to feel a bit all over the place.
As always, it’s a mix of good, bad, and everything in between. Some laughs, some frustration, and plenty of questions about what’s coming next.
