Review of Death in Blackpool by JustAsPlanned
This was an absolute masterpiece. Every Auntie Pat story thus far has been a banger, and this is the perfect bow to put upon this trilogy. It's full of emotion, pathos, and tragedy. I can hardly blame Lucie for leaving the Doctor at this point. All the secrets, the baggage from Orbis, the recent events of the s3 finale... it was inevitable. It was part Eastenders Christmas Special, part It's A Wonderful Life...ish. The Zynog is an interesting concept but isn't exactly the standout of the story, the real emotional core of the story is Pat-Hagoth, Lucie, and the Doctor. The drunk santa is fun, too.
This was an exquisite opening to Season 4 and I hope all stories remain this strong.
