The Ninth Doctor #30

'Her Own Bootstraps' (2020) from Short Trips - Series 10.


Absolutely love how The Doctor is written and performed in this. Totally grabs his post-Time War trauma in a much more spotlit way than any of the Ninth Doctor Adventures have really gone into it. The Short Trips format is a welcome change for me at the moment too, with narration rather than audio as though there were visuals. Althea is a good moral equation in the mix of an otherwise fairly standard story, but her dynamic with The Doctor really solidifies this. Nice to see Rose crop up too.

Well written and Jacob Dudman’s 9th Doctor is pretty solid, but otherwise a relatively dull story.
