New Who Review #83

Night Terrors

This story was absolutely terrifying but i love it. It follows a boy called George who thinks his family don't want him and is scared of everything. His toys are alive and they take the creepy form of the Peg Dolls. The design on the dolls are so truly creepy and nightmare inducing. I saw this at 6 years old and I had so many Nightmares afterwards. I'm a bit bias on this story because it's my first ever doctor who story but it's so good. The pacing is a bit dull because half of it is just eastenders but when you get to the good stuff it's truly truly scary. This one introduces a new thing for the next few episodes it's a creepy nursery rhyme called "Tick Tock Goes The Clock" and it will get stuck in your head and play at night so you can't sleep and I hate it. People really underrate this story because in my opinion this is in the top 5 of 11's era. It's pure doctor who and pure horror but comedy horror. Overall a really creepy story with a really good story and it's definitely one of my faves of 11's era. 10/10
