Review The Ghost Monument (2018)

[Doctor Omega]

Your thoughts on this story......

Still reeling from their first encounter, can the Doctor and her new friends stay alive long enough, in a hostile alien environment, to solve the mystery of Desolation? And just who are Angstrom and Epzo?

So we finally have a title and story outline for episode 2.....

Clearly this is the "Getting to know all the new companions" episode, while continuing to acclimatise ourselves to the new Doctor.

just who are Angstrom and Epzo?

Please let them be anything except mathematical twin genius' that have been kidnapped by a garden slug.

That's the last thing the show currently needs.

This also seems to suggest that the Tardis is already working(?) - despite rumours that it would spend the earlier stages of the season broken at the bottom of a garden.

Chibnall banging on in the the latest issue of DWM about how all the cast in this were "all generous spirits" and how "moving" the whole thing was to film and: "By the end of it, it really did feel as if we had all been to an alien planet together."

All that is from memory of skimming through the magazine a few hours ago in a local newsagent, so please excuse any paraphrasing. Stopped buying it years ago.

It always worries me when these hardened cast and crew have treacly emotional responses and indulge in mutual love-fests regarding their latest new Who script and story.

Coz - pretty much without fail - I always seem to end up looking at the screen with all the internal warmth of Kerr Avon (particularly after helping that nice Doctor Plaxton install a state of the art Stardrive) when said story is eventually broadcast.

Venusian Aikido! Squeeeee!!

I was kind of disappointed hologram-guy never got his just desserts, but I guess justice doesn’t always happen in the end.

After last weekend's record-breaking debut, Jodie Whittaker's first Doctor Who series continues to perform strongly in the ratings.

The second episode 'The Ghost Monument' premiered last night (October 14), and drew in an overnight audience of 7.1 million, according to the BBC's Lizo Mzimba.

While that's a million less than last week's premiere – ratings nearly always drop off after a series premiere – it's still a pretty stellar draw for the show, proving that interest in the new Chris Chibnall series remains high.
