Doctor Who Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror - Doctor Who Review - No Spoilers


Lets Get Real:

This was a fast moving episode, the Doctor meet Nikola Tesla,  a great inventor before his time, and also the opposition in the shape of Thomas Edison.   Of course the Tesla name today is known from the non fuel cars.  It was interesting to see how the show dealt with the histories of the two men, Tesla was the businessman who could mass produce inventions while Teslea as the lone genius, Edison stated that the British never understood business, was that a hint at Brexit.   The Alien THREAT was not that great, they stole what they wanted, the Doctor has no difficulty in stopping them.  One can not go into much detail as that would spoil the show.   This episode is worth watching twice for the great script, acting and you pick up some historical nuggets.  

The overnight ratings can be misleading, it is better to check the numbers after those that  have watched it on Iplayer or other devices.
