WARNING: Contains spoilers for Doctor Who episode The Impossible Astronaut, and also a spoiler for Game of Thrones episode one.
Before I begin my review of what was an incredible first episode of Doctor Who, I would like to have it on record that I’m a new fan to the series. And when I say “new fan”, I don’t just mean that I haven’t seen the original incarnation, I mean that I haven’t even seen the Christopher Eccelston and David Tennant series, apart from the odd couple of episodes here and there. Sacrilege I know…
However, I did watch Series 5 from beginning to end, and whilst I admit what first drew my attention to the show was the involvement of writer Steven Moffat, I quickly became engrossed in the world of Doctor Who and the characters that inhabit that world, and it soon became my most anticipated TV show every week.
