 | More clues about Doctor Who - The Rebel Flesh |
The second script from Life on Mars creator Matthew Graham is on its way this Saturday and rumor has it that it will be a return to the traditional Doctor Who two-parter formula and deadly terrifying as well. Apparently there is a heavy influence of the Troughton era, which suits bow-tie aficianado Smith perfectly. This could refer to the monster era of the program which centered on horrifying enemies and base-under-siege situations. It's by the basics Who, but that's not a bad thing, surely.
Like a couple of readers on this blog, I count myself in the apparently tragically small numbers of fans unhappy with last week's episode. The previews for this story look to be more my cup of tea, hopefully others will agree.
Via NME:
Doctor Who writer Matthew Graham has described his upcoming episode in the series as "unpleasant". Graham, who co-created Life On Mars, has written the two-part story The Rebel Flesh and The Almost People, which begins this Saturday (May 21).And he has described the story as "epic" and "scary", saying he would not be surprised if the BBC broadcasts a warning before it.
He told Den Of Geek: "I showed it to my wife the other night and there were a couple of images in it where she went, 'Actually, that's quite scary. That's not very pleasant.' I also notice that that it's going out a bit later. I wouldn't be surprised if they put a warning out beforehand."
He also expressed his desire to return to the show, saying: "I had such a good time on this run that I would love to come back and do some more. They seem very, very pleased with the episode, so I hope they'd consider asking me back."
Spoilers, clues and hints below...
Via SFX:
1 It's this season's most trad-Who episode so far, but whereas last year's "trad" story (the Silurian two-parter) was Pertwee era, this is straight out of the Troughton years. Appropriately Matt Smith is at his most Troughton-esque.
2 It also evokes memories of "The Impossible Planet". There's a lot of exposition to start with, but it soon becomes very pacy claustrophobic, creepy and full of powerful, well-written character moments for the guest stars and striking images.
