Doctor Who Thin Ice
** This review may contain spoilers **
Wow! This is mindblowing!!
No explanation to what the creature in the Thames is or what came about, but a good storyline!
The Doctor and Bill are in London 1814 where an ice carnival is happening.
So the TARDIS does land and should check his scanner before going out.
Privilege, scandal, urchins, you name it well written.
So people are pulled into the Thames and are a meal
Why?
The Doctor sees a disappearance for himself , a poor young thief named Spider, and decides to get involved (Typical).
He does get the street children / urchins onside (good writing on social consciousness).
The Doctor decides to get Scuba gear and dive in!!
Underneath is a creature that is chained( why?)
Further exploration to a factory with the help of a circus worker reveals mud brick that can be used as rocket fuel.
The Doctor visit the villain Lord Sutcliff and here comes the action. He fakes Club credential and when Sutcliff becomes ungentlemanly, the fight breaks out and the Doctor and Bill are arrested.
The doctor makes the most compassionate speak and have no effect.
Both the Doctor and Bill are sent to the Thames and the desperation now climbs.
Sonic Screwdriver to the rescue and the man with the tattoo holding the sonic screwdriver is lunch.
The best scene. The Doctor is a servant to humanity and Bill has to give the order.
A decision making moment for the companion that makes this the best episode so far.
Yes for liberation and then the action happens.
Bill and street urchins evacuate the river.
The Doctor works on his side.
Sutcliff decides to blow up the river circus.
Instead the Doctor reroutes the explosives to free the creature.
Game on! Sonic Screwdriver is recoverable.
Sutcliff is that last lunch for the fish.
Love the ending where the urchins inherit the Sutcliffe name.
And that newspaper clip rock.
So what is in the vault?
