Review of Doctor Who and the Star Beast by 15thDoctor

17 November 2024

I love that The Doctor is still trying to get to Benidorm. It’s a small detail but proof that the team behind this series want to put their own stamp on Doctor Who.

The basic outline of this story and the aliens within it are perfect. The delicious moment clearly being when the cute Beep the Meep turns out to be an evil intergalactic villain who can possess its victims. The character design of Beep and the Wrath Warriors are most excellent. When you get beyond that the details don’t always deliver the same impact but the big beats are simply perfect. It's a great shame that the eventual TV adaptation did not include the backstory of the planet of the Meeps, that is truly exceptional.
