Well the last episode of Doctor Who I saw was a rewatch. The Time of the Rani: Part 4.
What a contrast. This was a cinematic epic with South Africa standing in for Australia, Ivory Coast and California.
It was more than being just a James Bond pasiche. Spies are incapacitated and their DNA are being re-written. The Doctor is called into action by C. As in the Bond movie Spectre, C stands for Careless, he gets shot dead.
Writer Chris Chibnall has a go at tech companies that love to capture private data. The alien menace seemed to be more Torchwood inspired. The cliffhanger reveals the real spymaster and maybe there is a nod to the film, The Matrix.
Chibnall still likes exposition in his dialogue but it might be we are used to the Moffat era where it was all explained away as being timey-wimey.
