Niall Whitehead reviews Friday 11 December 2015 ★★★★☆ Image: BBC I have to admit that way back when this series started, with that two-parter with Missy and Davros and Skaro and Daleks from every era, I was somewhat curious as to what was going to happen in the finale. How do you top that? I thought stakes wouldn’t be raised higher than that until we sent cows to Mars! Happily, the writers found a way! Turns out you bring Gallifrey back, bring the Time Lords too and pit them against a Doctor on the verge of throwing that title away completely (again). So the plot goes thus: after the Doctor went through a four billion-year imprisonment and a few trillion deaths in ‘Heaven Sent’ (a pretty brilliant episode in its own right), he’s found the people responsible. That being the Time Lords, who are currently hiding out at the end of the Universe having somehow slipped free from their pocket universe. So the Doctor sets to work on his revenge: or so it seems. It becomes clear he’s got another plan in mind. And also there’s this prophecy, about a Hybrid destined to stand in Gallifrey’s ruins… Many viewers will have noticed that it’s never actually explained how Gallifrey came back. The Doctor only spends about a third of the episode on the planet, but it is one heck of a good first third! In a scene mostly done in silence, the Doctor goes back to his childhood home and mingles with some common Gallifreyans, before having a Mexican standoff with Rassilon in the desert, staging a coup, and ordering the President off his planet. It’s all very awesome. We even find out about Cloister Wraiths and the Dry Lands and how a controlled regeneration works. But if you were looking for a story that the entire new series has been leading up to, with the Doctor who has been continually defined as “the last of the Time Lords” finally going home for some big revelations… well, that plot goes out the airlock the second they bring Clara back from the dead. At which point the episode was temporarily drowned out by the little crackle of my expectations bursting into flame. http://nouse.co.uk/2015/12/11/tv-review-doctor-who-series-9-episode-12-hell- Archived 11 Dec 2018 bent 10:44:23 Nouse Web Archives TV Review: Doctor Who – Series 9 Episode 12: ‘Hell Bent’ Page 2 of 4 Ultimately, then, how much you enjoy this episode is going to depend heavily on how much you liked Clara, and how sick you are of Steven Moffat’s continued inability to never actually kill anyone for real. Personally, I thought ‘Face the Raven’ was a really great end for Clara’s arc; she gets brought down by her own flaws, actually acknowledges them and gets a tearful farewell as she gets to be brave. While she still will have to face the raven, like everyone does, the fact that she now gets to travel the Universe for as long as she wants in a stolen TARDIS sort of cheapens it. (Yes, it’s odd that a human knows how to fly an insanely-complicated eldritch sentient time-ship, but the Doctor’s been giving her lessons since Series 7 and they have a manual. And admittedly I don’t know if time collapses if Clara trips over a Chumbley on her adventures and breaks her neck, or something like that, though I suppose that’s the sort of thing time can sort out itself. Wibbily-wobbily). Yet, in actuality, by the end of the episode I wasn’t that annoyed they brought her back. Maybe because the story’s not really about Clara facing her death either… This time, Moffat spends a long time playing coy with what the story of the episode actually is. Clara’s accepted her fate. She wants to go back. But this is another character episode for the Doctor, who just had two massive traumas dumped on him, got no time to deal with either and who now has to work through four billion years’ worth of grief. Every episode in this finale trilogy’s had a monster in it determined to track someone down whatever the cost, and this time it’s the Doctor, who’s willing to shoot one of his allies dead in cold blood and risk burning the Universe to get her back again. (Yeah, if I were Adric, I’d be feeling a little unloved right now. But I digress). So instead of our big Gallifrey finale, we get an emotional character study about grief and death and moving on. That does call for some pretty great acting, so it’s a good thing we get that all-round. Sure, Donald Sumpter’s Rassilon wasn’t a patch on Timothy Dalton’s, but Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman knocked it out of the park, hitting emotional beat after emotional beat hard. The saddest part was a horrified Clara finding out about the Doctor’s special hell as he shakily tried to shrug it off. Maisie Williams was on top form as Me or Ashildr or the Knightmare or whoever, I still liked the General (both of them) and even Nicholas Briggs made me feel sad about a Dalek, of all things, trapped in the Matrix and begging for death. Also, no more sonic sunglasses! Get your confetti out, kids! Miscellaneous praise: if Rachel Talalay can just come back and direct all the big finale episodes forever, that’d be excellent, because she’s done a pretty great job with the last two – we get the Western flavoured Dry Lands, creepy shots from the Matrix Cloisters and some great bits in the default TARDIS – oh yeah, they brought back the William Hartnell console room, which made my inner fan bounce up and down. Murray Gold, between this and ‘Heaven Sent’, has been composing some pretty great music as well. So Series 9 ends with the Doctor at peace and Clara flitting about through time in the Bistromath and I have to say, it’s been a damn good run. There were some episodes that came out a bit mediocre (‘The Girl Who Died’, ‘The Zygon Invasion’) and one that was outright bad (oh hello, ‘Sleep No More’) but overall I’ve really enjoyed it. Hopefully whatever’s next can keep up that momentum and…oh. It’s a River Song episode. Well, never mind then. 4 comments Mary W. Matthews 12 Dec ’15 at 3:08 pm The stakes (of the bet) couldn’t have been higher. The steaks were marinating near the grill.

My only regret is that Ken Bones’ portrayal of The General is unlikely to be seen again. Ken Bones, Ken Bones, Ken dry Bones! Report Al 13 Dec ’15 at 10:03 pm What’s amazing about this episode on rewatch is you realize how much has been foreshadowed in earlier episodes. And I don’t just mean this season. What was the first thing the Twelfth Doctor asked Clara? I’ll let you google that one. At first I thought it cheapened her death too but then I realized that Face the Raven was about punishing someone for aspiring to be the Doctor – a violation of the show’s mandate since day 1. So giving her a reprieve is perfectly in keeping with the concept. At the same time the sadness of her death on Face the Raven is amplified because we now know at some point something really sad is going to have to happen that will make Clara return to basically commit suicide. What did the Doctor say about immortality in “The Girl Who Died”? This episode also I think brought to a climax the entire notion of the Doctor falling in love with his companions, showing us how dangerous that can be. (There is no possible ambiguity after he says he spent 4.5 billion years punching through a wall of diamond for her.) If anything it’s the River Song episode that I fear will cheapen everything, not this one. Re: Adric. Big differences. First the Doctor was much young and less wiser then. Second, and this is something people are willingly ignoring: the Doctor’s last memory of Adric was not of him screaming in terrible agony! That was Clara and that in my opinion is what drove the Doctor to do what he did. His friend – the woman he cared for (I’ll leave the L-word out of it) died in agony. He said so in Heaven Sent. Clara asks him why he did this to himself. The answer is staring us right in the face. Report Thomas 14 Dec ’15 at 10:13 am This is perhaps something from me being a big fan of the 1st through 7th Doctors (with an exception of some of Davison and Colin Baker) I find Doctor Who increasingly difficult to watch.

  • Sociopathetic Abscess Or Yawning Chasm? the Absent Postcolonial Transition In
    Sociopathetic abscess or yawning chasm? The absent postcolonial transition in Doctor Who Lindy A Orthia The Australian National University, Canberra, Australia Abstract This paper explores discourses of colonialism, cosmopolitanism and postcolonialism in the long-running television series, Doctor Who. Doctor Who has frequently explored past colonial scenarios and has depicted cosmopolitan futures as multiracial and queer- positive, constructing a teleological model of human history. Yet postcolonial transition stages between the overthrow of colonialism and the instatement of cosmopolitan polities have received little attention within the program. This apparent ‘yawning chasm’ — this inability to acknowledge the material realities of an inequitable postcolonial world shaped by exploitative trade practices, diasporic trauma and racist discrimination — is whitewashed by the representation of past, present and future humanity as unchangingly diverse; literally fixed in happy demographic variety. Harmonious cosmopolitanism is thus presented as a non-negotiable fact of human inevitability, casting instances of racist oppression as unnatural blips. Under this construction, the postcolonial transition needs no explication, because to throw off colonialism’s chains is merely to revert to a more natural state of humanness, that is, cosmopolitanism. Only a few Doctor Who stories break with this model to deal with the ‘sociopathetic abscess’ that is real life postcolonial modernity. Key Words Doctor Who, cosmopolitanism, colonialism, postcolonialism, race, teleology, science fiction This is the submitted version of a paper that has been published with minor changes in The Journal of Commonwealth Literature, 45(2): 207-225. 1 1.

The trees rocked in the wind. All nature seemed in, A fury and crazy. The bird flew away. This was a real bird you see. It was in and out of me. I looked at in glee. It was the bird of perfection.
