Overnight Ratings for Doctor Who - The Vanquishers

Before we get to the appeasement of Biden, the thorny issue of Iran and the tensions between US and China, lets have some light fun!! It could be DefCon 1 by the new YEAR, and I do not mean the Daleks!


Lets Get Real:

This is a kind of episode who have to think about, was it great, or a anti climax, I thought we would get answers to the Timeless Child arc of the past few seasons, and we didn't get that, the fob watch was hidden in the TARDIS by the Doctor, after all that, you would think that the Doctor would want to know her past history, never mind his/her history from the First Doctor that we know, even then the Doctor is keeping secrets, thus the WHO is WHO!! The Doctor was split in three, for this episode, yes three Doctors, don't  ask about the science, you would need to be a Time Lord to understand it, the Daleks, the Cybermen turned up and were destroyed by the FLUX, also our favourite villains the Potato Heads also got double crossed by the Doctor and were destroyed.  The Flux after its destruction of the Universe was held in a Robert ( don't ask, the science threw a me a curve ball, it is Doctor Who ).   The Tardis Fam were reunited, the Bel and Vinder story had a nice sweet end, no there were not the parents of the Doctor.  The sole lost was the Professor, taken out by the Flux and our fav villains the Mr Potato head. It was a heroic way to go, perhaps the Actor could be the next Doctor, it was a wonderful and moving performance.  An episode to re-watch and wait for the Daleks to come back in the New Year episode, must admit the Daleks and the Cybermen have not been give much to do this season, in fact that was a SHAME, they seem a after thought! I would score the season 7/10, I am tough critic.
