I said yes even before I’d seen a script! Doing that was a great experience but most of it was getting under the skin of this amazing actor and quite complicated man which Mark’s script captured beautifully I thought.Īfter that wrapped I thought “Well, I’ve done it now. Mark Gatiss who wrote that tapped me on the shoulder one day at an event in London and asked me to play Hartnell in that, and I was absolutely thrilled. Well it all started with An Adventure in Space and Time (the 2013 biopic about the start of Doctor Who) a few years ago. The first interview below is with David Bradley who many will recognise from Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, but closer to the Who universe he’s appeared in Sarah Jane Adventures and of course in the Doctor Who episode Dinosaurs on a Spaceship. Call me old fashioned, but at least it’s kind.With the Doctor Who Christmas Special “Twice Upon a Time” now just a week away, here at Flickering Myth we’ve got interviews with David Bradley who plays the First Doctor, Mark Gatiss as The Captain and also Pearl Mackie who returns as the excellent Bill Potts, along with a few words from both Steven Moffat and Peter Capaldi who shall both be leaving the TARDIS behind after this extra special episode. This reviewer wishes her all the best, just like I did for every preceding Doc.

It has never shied away from such matters, so why are you surprised about recent events now? If the script is good, the stories exciting and the supporting cast well cast then Doctor Who will continue to be a TV jewel that hopefully shines on for another few years. Who’s falling ratings mean something has to be done to freshen things up, and this might do the trick.Īs far as cries of diversity inclusion and pandering to the left go, can I just remind you this is Doctor Who.

I’m not familiar with her other work (except Black Mirror) and as far as I can see she looks fine.

To judge Whitaker in this short amount of screen time would be unfair. Her first words “Oh Brilliant” are in the same mold as other past Doctor utterances, and the shock of seeing her fall from the ship, and the ship itself seemingly being destroyed leaves us with a cliff hanger that may or may not be addressing the nature of the next series. The little time we spend with Whittaker has her in a self destructing Tardis (why?) that is out of control and crashing. The musical cues for the episode were just brilliant, honestly go back and re watch and pick out all the past music references. When Capaldi eventually does regenerate, after a rousing and inspirational final message both to the viewer and his replacement, we get to what many viewers consider to be the meat and veg of the episode. We even get a past Doctor montage, remember when that was a drop your jaw moment in NuWho? The resolution of the initial conflict brings us to the Christmas Armistice, and this is again what we have come to expect from a Christmas special. I know fans often hate Dalek Overuse, but here it seemed to fit and I enjoyed those scenes.Īs the story unfolds and we are faced with Bill and Nardole, and the eventual Clara cameo, it is worth remembering that as a regeneration story this is warranted and expected.

The insert Dalek here moment was unexpected, and plenty of you were probably Googling Inside The Dalek from series 8 to catch up on that particular back story.

There was plenty of fun to be had with Bradley convincing us he is William Hartnell, and the throw backs to Hartnell’s non PC attitude and remarks were topical and brave. I guess you could say that the lack of dramatic intent means we get to spend a bit more time focusing on the true story of The Doctor accepting his regeneration.Ĭapaldi is excellent here too, he plays well with David Bradley and Mark Gatiss. The drama comes from the initial setting in WW1 and The Doctor’s struggling to understand what is actually happening. The whole story itself was a little odd, when you break it down there is no real problem for the Doc to resolve. This year’s Doctor Who special, ‘Twice Upon a Time’ had a lot to get through, to the extent that when all was said and done, it was a miracle it managed to cover all its bases! We had Capaldi’s last story, Moffat’s last story, it had the return of the first Doctor, the return of Bill, Clara and Nardole, a nod to the Brigadier AND the introduction of Jodie Whitaker as Doctor 13! Yep, a lot going on but it still managed to be a Christmas story that intrigued and excited.
