After the longest of long breaks, TV’s Doctor Who is finally
returning to our screens for a full series - and gosh golly does it
feel good! Of course, this isn’t just any new series of TV’s Doctor
Who. On the contrary, we’re seeing both fresh starts and inevitable
conclusions, as in addition to introducing a brand new companion
(in the shape of Pearl Mackie’s Bill Potts) we’re also beginning
our long goodbyes to both Peter Capaldi’s wonderful Twelfth Doctor
and Steven Moffat’s quality rollercoaster approach to
showrunning.
But placing aside these departures, how do we feel about ‘The
Pilot’ itself? Does it reintroduce us back in into the world of the
Doctor successfully? Does it satisfy devotees as well as new
arrivals? Most importantly, just how wild and untamed is Peter
Capaldi’s hair?
Find out the answer to all these questions - as we review ‘The
Pilot’!
