Lisa Bowerman captures the energy and emotional resonance of The Eleventh Hour, evoking the dynamic between Matt Smith’s Doctor and Amelia Pond but transposed to an elderly woman in a remote house, a character whose mind is starting to slip away.

As an allegory for memory loss, it’s devastatingly effective. The woman is caught in a loop, reliving the same day repeatedly, accompanied by an alien tree and the Doctor. The sci-fi premise works beautifully as a metaphor.

The writing is incredibly tactful and charged with genuine feeling, managing to stay true to the tone and emotional generosity of the Matt Smith era.
