Review of John Smith and the Common Men by 15thDoctor

16 November 2024

This review contains spoilers!

The Doctor’s biggest nightmare, living the life of a coward who turns in his friends to the communist(?) ruling party. It’s a perfect summation of everything The Doctor is not in the surprising and evocative setting of a dystopian, highly controlled society.

This is a one shot that gets every panel right and doesn’t outstay its welcome. With anniversary appearances from some familiar faces (poor Harry!) I would love to see this concept explored on TV.
