Some may have taken a critical eye to the light-hearted, breezy opening episodes to this new reboot of Doctor Who, streaming now on Disney+ around the world and on BBC iPlayer in the show’s native UK - but weeks 3 and 4 are aiming to remind that the beauty of Doctor Who is that it can be anything. Better still, it’s a reminder that sometimes, when Doctor Who takes a big swing at an unexpected idea, it’s often when the show is at its best 💥. This week's episode, '73 Yards', may very well be the new poster child for that concept 🔥. The show toys with a single concept - stripping away many of its core ideas and themes to place what remains under a microscope 🕳️.
One of the most keenly examined aspects is companion Ruby Sunday 👩🚀, with Millie Gibson delivering a masterful performance that should prove as absolute proof of her ability to duke it out with the best of Doctor Who's companions 💪 - which is pretty heady company to keep 🤯. With the show's core themes and characters stripped away, Ruby Sunday's character shines through, offering a fresh perspective on the world of Doctor Who 🔭. It's clear that '73 Yards' is more than just an all-time great episode of Doctor Who - it’s one of the best bits of TV in years 📺, and we can't wait to see what the rest of this season has in store! 🎉
