Review of The Day of the Clown by 15thDoctor

24 April 2024

Stephen King’s IT is mashed up with the legend of the pied piper to form a derivative but fun 50 minutes. It’s carried by the excellent cast of characters, including the new Rani Chandra and her parents who reassure us that we won’t be missing Maria too much (if at all!) The headteacher / Chandra’s dad subplot is more compelling than the clown being “destroyed by laughter”. A twist on the well worn “power of love” endings that plague fiction (and so much Doctor Who!)
