Well the BBC certainly put its hands into its pockets for season 7 and gave Dr Who a decent budget
At times there was more action in this story than The Sweeney.
I actually lost track of the body count, but it seemed to be on par with The Wild Bunch.
And let's remember that this used to be transmitted at about 17:30 in the UK
The was much more maturity in season 7 than the the later incarnation of Dr Who, especially the latest 2023 special featuring the return of David Tennant, which I thought was dreadful, seemingly aimed at 3 year olds.
As with all the 7th season, there is a lot of believable, commited acting, to bring all the stories to life.
I wish Dr Who could return to this sort of mature story telling, but I guess there's very little chance of this happening.
