Doctor Who returns... and Doctor Who returns, along with it (No, that's not a spoiler)
Doctor Who is back.
I mean, in one sense, that much is obvious; the first episodes of the show’s much-anticipated new season drop tonight — the first full season since 2020, and the first new episodes since Christmas 2023, when Ncuti Gatwa got a chance to show off just how much fun he is as the new Doctor. (Non-spoiler: he continues to be an utter joy in the role in the new episodes; he’s such a charismatic actor, clearly having a whale of a time in the role, that it’s genuinely difficult to imagine anyone else as the Doctor right now.) Of course Doctor Who is back; you only have to look at Disney+ — or, in the UK, the BBC — to see that.
But, on another level entirely, Doctor Who is back. Without going into spoiler territory, there’s an energy and looseness about the first two episodes of the new season, ‘Space Babies’ and ‘The Devil’s Chord,’ that have been largely missing from the show for years by this point, last year’s set of special episodes aside; a sense of delight and of possibility that was almost entirely absent through the time of the 13th Doctor, and arguably through much of the 12th Doctor’s era, as well, as much of a fan of those episodes as I may be. The show, in many ways, feels like it did in the days of David Tennant, or Matt Smith’s earlier episodes, which is likely to come as a relief to many fans.
