Review of The Woman Who Lived by 15thDoctor

29 May 2025

This review contains spoilers!

The high level concept for Me is very interesting, combining this with a formidable actor like Maisie Williams seems like a sure fire bet on paper. Unfortunately somewhere in the execution (either the writing, performance or both) it just doesn’t click.

The writers have been working hard to bring levity back into this series, but the balance of comedy and serious, thought provoking drama in this episode are awkward and clunky. Neither end up landing as a result.

Rufus Hound as Sam Swift though is phenomenal. The way he churns out gallows humour in front of a rowdy crowd in the style of a late night club comic is the definite highlight of the story.
