Note: The Bulk of this review was written shortly before the passing of John Hurt. I have made minor alterations since but my opinion of this special is unchanged
It’s time
Month!
And I’m
still not recovered from Time Shifter’s awfulness I need something half decent
to review.
Of course!
Doctor Who is staple when it comes to time travel and the like, so tackling something
like Doctor Who is an inevitable part of the month. And where Steven Moffat
tends to excel is using time tricks in writing episodes, rather than just using
the ability of time travel to have an episode set anywhere and any when.
Day of the
Doctor uses a couple of those time tricks, it was also a special that
celebrated the 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who, so it’s worth taking
a look.
