The planetzogblog Doctor Who: The End of Time review will appear (2 parts, 2 reviews) over the next couple of weeks, but here are some thoughts, before the Xmas broadcast…

Doctor Who C14.3: The Deadly Assassin review

Review

The Deadly Assassin

The Doctor: Suddenly, and terribly, the Time Lords faced the most dangerous crisis in their long history…

Story Code: C14.3.
Production Code: 4P.
Story Number: 88.
Countdown week: 16…

Saxon would almost be preferable

“The Master is Prime Minister of Great Britain!”

Not quite but almost as bad (and it’s London rather than Great Britain)…

Doctor Who French Maid Agenda: now on the DWM letters page!

Doctor Who Magazine 386 (the most recent one) features, on the letter pages, a letter titled “MAID TO PLEASE?”

From the letter:

“Have both the Tenth Doctor and the Master got a thing for women in maid outfits?… [The letter then details a list which was described previously on planetzogblog back in July (click for link) while adding Martha’s mother and sister.] …All I can say is this: can the Doctor please take Donna to France?”

The 2007 Season

Donna: Just promise me one thing. Find someone.
The Doctor: I don’t need anyone.
Donna: Yes, you do. Because sometimes, I think you need someone to stop you.

From the Christmas Special, The Runaway Bride, 3.X.

The idea of the companion influencing the Doctor’s behaviour is a theme that is continued throughout this season – the “companion effect” as this blog calls it. Please note the season has now been broadcast, so plot details will be discussed here…
