"As a piece of entertainment it's just not good enough".

Sean discusses the Doctor Who Christmas Special (2023). After deciding to give the special a chance, he was left feeling very underwhelmed.

Discussion Points:

-The waste of the goblins.

-The poor pace of the show.

-Sean compares this episode to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005), Final Destination (2000) and Hugh Grant in the 1990's.

-The small scale of the episode.

-The cardinal sin of film/television is making something boring.

-The squandering of interesting ideas.

Raised Questions:

-Why is RTD trying to emulate Moffat's writing?

-What was the point in all the pointless time-jumps?

-Remember engaging Doctor Who stories?

-Why is this era tripping over itself to validate the Chibnall era?

-Do they expect people to actually flock to this?

Thanks for Listening!
