Meanwhile… Bel’s back! The continuation of her trek across the universe is an unexpected diversion, but serves to remind us that galactic civilisation continues to suffer in the wake of the Flux, which may well drive events in next week’s episode. When facing the Lonely Assassins, the Doctor has a history of losing, or at least losing her companions. It’s a solid premise and by no means a guaranteed victory. This sets the stage for the episode’s A-plot: the Doctor, in a confined space with limited resources, fending off attacks by the Angels and relying on her ingenuity to get everyone out safely. Yaz’s efforts to properly organise the search party don’t exactly go down well with Gerald, who seems to resent having to participate at all, even when the missing Peggy is revealed to be a relation.ĭoctor Who: Flux – Were Bel and Vinder Division Operatives Too? By Louisa Mellor The Doctor’s far more interested in whatever’s making her screwdriver all toasty, though, so she leaves her companions to help with the rescue efforts while she follows the sonic scent. It’s mistaken for a real police box by an elderly couple named Gerald and Jean, who are out looking for a missing girl along with the rest of their village. This isn’t the first time Doctor Who: Flux has had scenes muddied by a dodgy audio mix, which is odd given that the team usually put a lot of care into the show’s production.Īfter the Angel is expunged, the TARDIS is deposited in 1967. The Doctor’s solution is to reboot the TARDIS, whatever that entails, at which point “dimensional compression should eject quantum life-forms” – an explanation I was hard-pressed to hear over the roaring sound effects. When the episode opens, there’s the small matter of a Weeping Angel at the TARDIS console, meddling with the lights so that it can flit about the controls even with the Doctor, Yaz and Dan gawping at it. This is probably why Chris Chibnall and Maxine Alderton (whose last episode was the excellent ‘ The Haunting of Villa Diodati’) mostly stick to the statues’ pre-established powers, rather than trying to come up with yet more ways for them to menace Team TARDIS.
You’re carrying a torch? They’ll drain the battery, and so on, and so on.Įach successive story runs the risk of making the Weeping Angels a little too powerful, to the point where they’re basically unstoppable. Point a camera at an Angel? It can come crawling out of the monitor. Find a way to fix your gaze on one and it’ll eventually crawl inside your brain and take over. In response, Moffat made the Angels even more capable. As early as their second appearance in ‘ The Time of Angels’, Steven Moffat was already having to rewrite the rulebook for his beloved baddies, trying to counter all the ways fans had come up with to defeat them in the wake of the phenomenal ‘ Blink’ – well-placed mirrors, shoals of fish, that sort of thing.

Creator Patrick Ness was intending to script an angelic “civil war” if a second series had gotten the go-ahead, which indicates just how tempting a prospect the Angels can be to a writer – every showrunner wants a chance to tackle the Lonely Assassins. If you did stick with it to the end, though, the final episode revealed that the mysterious School Governors at Susan’s old stomping ground were, in reality, Weeping Angels. Remember Class? Nobody would blame you if you didn’t, as Coal Hill Sixth Form’s finest failed to make much of a splash when the show originally landed.
