Review of The Smugglers by 15thDoctor

15 August 2024

Ben and Polly continue to impress, their dialogue is sparky and livens up the show. Again, its hard to judge a story which is completely non-existent, but from the gist I got, it was good fun - the brief clips of action (those censored from Aussie broadcasts) were really cool, even if I felt more like I was being teased with a story rather than being shown one! The character of Jamaica was is unfortunate from a 21st century perspective, a reminder of how different Doctor Who is nowadays. The tease for The Tenth Planet at the end of this story is ominous - leaves you waiting for the next one...!
