In The Forest of the Night - Doctor Who Review


Lets Get Real:

My school trips were never like this, yes London, No tree invasion, it would have been more fun if it had been, the Doctor Clara, Danny and his class were caught up in the latest adventure, London had been taken OVER by trees.   The episode was quite pivotal, Danny learned that Clara had not been telling him the truth, he found that she had left books to be marked. The decision by Clara to stay when the Doctor told her this was IT, the fate of mankind was to be taken up by the forest, was quite moving, the Guardian notes "  Here, there is all the brilliantly done doom-and-gloom, end-of-days, Clara-choosing-to-die-with-the-rest-of-humanity stuff. And then – D’oh! – the Doctor just remembers that actually there was no threat in the first place and the trees had sprung up to protect us from the solar flare. "   As a former Teacher this blog would advice Danny not to be act COOL, that is the last thing students want, they want structure, they want order, and NO TREE INVASION would help.  The Telegraph notes, " Peter Capaldi was a delight, too, in this episode; his irascibility with the kids feeling reminiscent of William Hartnell’s cantankerous Doctor. ".  An episode for ALL the family.   This blog is a bit of a fan of the 1st Doctor, the Original as he once said.
