A bit of light relief from the Ukraine and Iran - Biden Era:
The Doctor Who News: Reports " Doctor Who - Eve of the Daleks has an audience of 3.21 million viewers, according to unofficial overnight figures. "
Lets Get Real:
This was a great stand alone episode, a great show for New Year's Day. The Doctor and the Tardis fam were caught in a time loop, it all started with the Doctor trying to fix the TARDIS, that meant a reboot, that caused the Tardis to land in Manchester, Dan was not happy, a he is from Liverpool, some friendly rivalry, Liverpool FC of course being the best Football team in the World. The Tardis was tracked by the Daleks, they were not happy, the Daleks are never happy but they were not happy that the Doctor had destroyed the Dalek Fleet, the Doctor tried to blame our favourite potato heads villains but that did not work. The the Doctor had to deal with two civilians, Sarah (Aisling Bea) and Nick (Adjani Salmon) who had to die a few times before they admitted they had feelings for each other, the time loops got shorter by a minute, so there were endless plans that did not work and deaths of all of them. It was nice to see Dan tell the Doctor that Yaz had feeling for her, someone should really tell her about Rose and River Sung, one had a human Doctor, the other is stuck in a massive Library, the Doctor saved her there. This is a big shout for Aisling Bea to be considered for the NEXT Doctor, she connects on screen and is a great dramatic and comedy actress. If you have a choice of either watching the Flux series, or this episode, then watch this episode, it was kick butt time and the Daleks had a proper and meaty role. I liked the actress from Father Ted popping up on the mobile, offering tea ( not sure I am merging the two shows ), that was funny.
