Summary of New Years Day's episode:
Discussion between young maybe-could-be-couple about whether a kiss was a sexy one or a matey one. Male had to wait for approval either way. Biological Dalek form stuck to wall, then disappears but the doc tells everyone to be on the alert this time, before a dna or whatever reading has been gotten. Scene about absent fathers. Woman driving a car with Dalek body stuck to her back (previous scene; awful Dalek voice about puppetry) Oh yeah, and Prior to that, the Dalek form wants the girl to help it hack into the internet (think they've already done that). Terrible overdub of Dalek voice in car scene with mediocre 'hard rock' music. She gets stopped for speeding and says to the traffic cop #You are an enemy of the Daleks' Then se cops feet wiggling out of the car and the cop's assistand approaches her, sees tentacles comoing out of the protagonists shoulders and screams. Next scene the Dalek slave woman is driving the police car with the 'hammer house of horror' style voice, saying 'You are a useful soldier' (cue more 'hard rock' music)/ Next scene; Cafe; Son and absent Father. The Dad is trying to sell the cafe owner a microwave oven (absent father's must also be thieves, right?) Very good and well acted scene in my opinion, between a Son and his absent Dad, but it doesn't belong in Doctor Who; it's not Wuthering Heights. This close up heart scene goes on for too long and has nothing to do with Daleks. Cut to scene of the Tardis materialising. Then it chops from Trdis scene and being somewhere else with the character asking what kiss it meant in the first scene mentioning 'The Order Of The Custodians' (I know, I'm waiting for a 'Patriarchy' reference too, be patient; I'm sure it will come). Back to the Tardis and som 'bla bla' and use of the word 'triangulation'. Then more rubbish that doesn't add up and the doc has a microphone and is saying to the Dalek 'possesd' (for want of a better word) 'I am your conscience', then says 'I know you're a refugee from the planet Skaro' Then there's a scene that would best suit a kindergarten version of The Exorcist' with the doc being Father Karras. Woman in cop car shhpts stuff with Dalek gun in her hand. Doc calls UNIT. But UNIT's operations 'have been suspended, pending review' because of 'all UNIT operations were put on hold following financial disputes and subsequent funding withdrawals by the UK's major international partners' Followed by dooming music and the doc announcing 'We're on our own' BBC POLITICAL AGENDA RIGHT THERE, INJECTING RECENT VOTES INTO DOCTOR WHO. Next scene (still (apart from the stuck to the back squid thing) no sign of the Daleks), is Graham and the absent Dad together (no background about how that happened). Heart to heart ensues and the usal stuff about keeping old trinkets. Still no Daleks. Cuts to Dalek cop woman on a farm and she shoots the farmer. Then the Dalek girl takes some big cogs and starts doing some iron mongery [enter dramatic music] Stupid hammer house dracula style voice tells her to continue to work because 'you are weakening' but she fights back by saying 'no, you are' and throws herself against a pallet. Dalek voice proests 'bl;a bal abla.... you cannot escape me etc etc..' Jumps to scene of 'Team Tardis' running through a corn field. Doc scans unconscious farmer with sonic screwdriver and says 'All the signs of a Dalek weapon' Doc and Team Tardis AKA Grange Hill Byker Grove follow the doc. Dalek possesed woman is on the floor whimpering. She apologises, but the doctor tells her 'you faught and you won' (without any reference) doc decides to go off on her own to confront the Dalek. She finds it and it's in a knackered casing made from bits an peices (reference is made to explain the earlier iron monger scene). At last it starts kicking off a bit. The Dalek, Knackered is now a Dalek, and it seems that The Doctor is starting to take shape/ Single battered Dalek takes on a load of soldiers. That's more like it! Sadly, the fun ends there. Back in the Tardis, the microwave (the absent father is now in the Tardis with no explanation as to why)is commissioned for - I dunno, then the doc looks at the console and says she knows where the Dalek is going (back to current doctor who form, then). Internet goes down cos Dalek and radio telescopes (whatever), but a Netflix advert gets slipped in (so don't pay your licence) Tardis turns up, Dalek shoots and the doc repeats that scene from 'The Parting Of The Ways'; pretty much a blue print. doc then fires the sonic screwdriver, slides on the floor and melts the Dalek with the microwave oven circuit. doc slips in the phrase #extended fam' (yawn). Aaron's 'absent' father's body gets taken over by Dalek being (that somehow survived being melted). The doc then takes the Tardis to a supernova cos reasons and the Dalek is still clinging to Aaron's Dad's back, EXACTLY like the scene in Alien. Aaron tells his Dad he loves him, but by now i think the audience were already mouthing the predictable conclusion just to get to the ending credits and move on. Father and son hold on to each other at the (open) Tardis door and the Dalek body lets go and gets sucked into the void. And that was it.
Score 0/10Chibnall: People aren't stupid and don't need moral injections. You have ruined an entertaining show. It will probably never recover. That's your legacy. This is how it can be done:
