The Doctor's Wife

[poliphilo]

Last weeks piratical malarkey was so poorly written I couldn't be bothered to notice it, but The Doctor's Wife is something else- one of the best episodes of any season; also a game changer- with Gaiman, the privileged outsider, delivering a number of tweaks to the mythos that every writer to come will be bound to take into account.

Fair enough, and that's probably why I haven't been able to engage with the series since the reboot. 25 minutes negotiating a crevasse sounds more interesting to me than clearing it in 20 seconds. If its so easy that you can clear it in 20 seconds (no doubt using the sonic screwdriver somehow!) then why even have it in there at all?
