7/10
"'Member when David Tennant and Russell T Davies drove the Doctor Who ship? Oh, I 'member!"
25 November 2023
South Park's Memberberries basically sum up this brand new episode to bring in Doctor Who's 60th Anniversary. While it's nice to see RTD running the show again with David Tennant and Catherine Tate back to guest star, I can't help but think this is merely a nostalgia trip to get viewers back on board for the Gatwa era, which is certainly what I, and I'm sure many others are excited for.

Yes, David Tennant is the modern era's Tom Baker popularity-wise, but he's not quite as interesting and intriguing as his two successors (predecessors now too?) Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi, who's portrayals match Baker's more alien nature, and in my opinion have aged better than Tennant's.

I'm more excited for Gatwa, bring him on! Also, new TARDIS is pretty sterile looking to be honest, doesn't hold a candle to the Smith/Capaldi era TARDIS's, heck, even Whittaker's had more atmosphere.

7/10. Not bad, but it's certainly no more than a nostalgia trip.
