Doctor Who News: Reports " Doctor Who: The Witchfinders was watched by 5.66 million viewers, a share of 27.9% of the total TV audience, according to unofficial overnight figures. "
Lets Get Real:
This was a fine historical episode, but as the Doctor pointed out when she was a bloke she did not have to put up with been talked down too, of course when it's King James 1 it must irk the Time Lord more. The episode starting with the Doctor and the companions thinking they were going to the coronation of Queen Elizabeth 1, of course the TARDIS is not playing ball, one gets the impression that the TARDIS is not too happy with a female Doctor, she was the only long standing woman in the Doctor's life, watch the Doctor's Wife for more details. The Tardis crew found themselves in the early 17th Century and Witch trials, the Doctor could not save a suspected witch, this new series shows that the Doctor can not save everyone. It was fun to see the TARDIS crew join up with the King, it was fun to see the King have the hots for one of the companions ( the King was gay ) also talking down to the Doctor, that does not happen often, even King's outrank Time Lords. It was also excellent to see that the Doctor did not have the solution at first, it took time, it makes for a more interesting Doctor, some of them have had a God Complex. The Doctor was nearly drowned by the King as he saw her as a witch, but they short of formed an alliance to defeat the alien threat, and it was alien threat. A must see episode, the Doctor and the crew were excellent as usual, but the guest starts nearly stole the show, more of King James 1 please.
