Review of Horror of Glam Rock by dema1020
23 May 2024
I think Horror of Glam Rock was pretty impressive on the whole. I had a fun enough time with all the music themes, while Lucie and the Doctor felt like they had a slightly better dynamic than the Blood of the Daleks stuff.
It would have been very, very easy for such a music-heavy story to have stuff that sounded either generic or inauthentic, but I feel they really nailed the Rock and Roll theming of the episode blending it nicely with Doctor Who sensibilities. I also enjoyed Bernard Cribbins as a performer even if some of his writing was a little heavy on what I am increasingly recognizing Big Finish tropes. It is all good enough that I left Horror of Glam Rock with a bemused smile on my face. The 70s Pop style worked well for me.
