<\/div>\n

There’s not been a full Weeping Angels story since 2012’s The Angels Take Manhattan<\/em>, so it’s about time the ever-popular stone statues returned. And this time, there’s a village full of ’em! Yes, this is Flux: Village of the Angels<\/em>, the fourth episode of Doctor Who<\/em> Series 13.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joe Siegler rather enjoyed it, as he explained in his review<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I freakin\u2019 loved this episode. It looked great, it sounded great, I loved the acting, the atmosphere \u2014 just bloody all of it. The couple of minor plot problems didn\u2019t affect me at all. I thought Jodie Whittaker\u2019s acting was some of, if not the<\/em> best she\u2019s done in her entire time as Doctor Who<\/em>. If we had been getting this level of story her first two series, she might not be leaving.<\/p>

“Absolute 10\/10 here.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

But what did the rest of the DWC think of the episode? We found a few contributors wandering around in the dark; we promised to get them all home safely if they told us what they thought of Village of the Angels<\/em>. (Then we sacrificed them to the Angels. Life’s tough.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rick Lundeen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Crazy Chris Chibnall must be getting tired of spinning all these plates, ladies and gentlemen, but he’s got two more episodes to go, so no rest for the wicked! But he’s sweating profusely, possibly thinking about delivering the pay off!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To the episode itself\u2026 Claire is an interesting character, as is the Professor in the basement, both performed beautifully. The ongoing saga of Bel and Vinder is fine, I suppose, AND BOY, IS THAT BABY IMPORTANT!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The whole Peggy here and there thing was fine. Dan and Yaz have been relegated to being superfluous again. The village on the edge of space, or vice-versa, was a nice touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But most of the episode was more run-of-the-mill Angel antics, albeit with nice direction and cinematography. The era really does bank on those elements because as we’ve seen so far this season, as long as there are lively, exciting visuals, it seems like you don’t have to give the fans that much story progression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Weeping Angels get a little bit more monotonous with each appearance, mostly because there’s only so much you can allegedly do with them. But Chibnall adds a couple of very interesting twists to them, which I appreciate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, if an Angel sends you back in time, then comes at you again in<\/em> that past year, you die. That’s an interesting addition. Much more<\/em> interesting is that the Angels work for the Division. Evidently, many species, creatures, etc., work for the Division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This brings us to the actual meat and potatoes of the episode: the cliffhanger. I’ve called out Chibnall on his sleight of hand, his distractions, plate spinning, all flash, no substance maneuvers this season because people tend to get sucked in by it. But the one bit Chris Chibnall has really<\/em> excelled at this year, is the cliffhanger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t give much credit to the flashy distractions, because if he doesn’t stick the landing on the finale, all of that was really meaningless hot air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I have to give credit where credit’s due. The Angels working for the Division was one big shock, but the Doctor being captured by turning into<\/em> an Angel was a blow-me-away moment. There have been a couple really good cliffhangers in NuWho<\/em>, but is the award winner so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the record, however this era goes down — in history or infamy — we can at least say that Chibnall came up with some great cliffhangers. (Unless of course this one was Maxine Alderton’s idea, then I’ll have to reassess.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bar Nash-Williams<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So, Monday, we\u2019re driving past a field and I say \u2018that sheep was definitely<\/em> walking backwards.\u2019 Hubby, driving, says \u2018Maybe it saw a Weeping Angel. Was it blinking?\u2019 Sunday, he\u2019d concluded \u2018Well, they threw everything at that, didn\u2019t they? Fun!\u2019 Yes, the Angels are scary again \u2013 and can only move when we<\/em> can\u2019t see them, unlike Flesh and Stone<\/em> which ruined that fourth wall stuff for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Village of the Angels<\/em> looked amazing. Never knowingly over-lit, even on a beach. The set design of the professor\u2019s neat, ordered gentleman\u2019s bathroom shelf (was that toothpaste tube authentic?) to the stuff-of-nightmares walls full of Angel limbs, the paper Angel reassembly, fire Angel, TV Angel jump scare, to that<\/em> cliffhanger. Wow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u2018The end begins again.\u2019 The theme tune merged with the original, back to ’67, when smashing a large screen TV like that would have been expensive. Back to 1967, when The Prisoner <\/em>gave us that first Village, to which ex-employees of the Division were extracted. The Village of the Damned<\/em> (the movie version of John Wyndham\u2019s Midwich Cuckoos<\/em>) vibe was delicious, with the Angel a cuckoo in Claire\u2019s head. While I was enjoying the Village of the Damned<\/em> vibe, I noted the tape machine, and remembered that in that film the day is saved by an old professor with a tape machine. All these echoes are great for us oldies, but not likely to mean much to younger fans. The gramophone pointed to The Time Meddler<\/em> \u2013 just before we see the village\u2019s name \u2013 Meddleton! And while we\u2019re on villages cut off from outside, Dan\u2019s throwing a stick into the forcefield was a lovely nod to The Daemons<\/em>. I much prefer these visual references to the spelled out ones. I can\u2019t say I loved the very obvious \u2018reverse the polarity\u2019 but if she\u2019d said NEURON not neutron after placing it on their heads, I\u2019d be better disposed towards it. Greatest hits? Fan service? I don\u2019t care; I love it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018You Don\u2019t Know Me.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I loved Kevin McNally too; a highlight of Chibnall’s whole run, let alone Village of the Angels<\/em>. So much expression in his totally committed acting; not a hint of \u2018good enough for Doctor Who<\/em>.\u2019 The Doctor respects his science, he asks good questions, is fascinated not frowny when he doesn\u2019t understand, like Bill in The Pilot<\/em>. He\u2019s brave, polite, and chivalrous; little Peggy runs to him and throws her arms around him (childless and loveless my a*** – Angels know nothing). Yeah, I\u2019m low-key in love with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slightly overshadowed Claire and everyone else, but Annabel Scholey is excellent in her dual role, doing a lot of show-don\u2019t-tell. But someone will have to spell out Claire\u2019s timeline\/loop for me, because I\u2019m struggling. Would a rogue Angel make a good companion, like 7 of 9? But I digress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Talking of companions, Team TARDIS is better split up \u2013 Jodie works better with the other characters and baddies; Yas is a police officer again, dealing with the public very professionally; Dan\u2019s asking the right questions and acting serious, showing not telling the relationship with Yas when she moves to defend the Doctor\u2019s defence. Sadly, she still seems to need defending: much better but not yet In Charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018And the\u00a0other<\/em>\u00a0only problem is\u2026\u2019 Not much wrong — 9\/10 for me. Bel and Vinder\u2019s love story\/quest spoiled the pacing for me, especially their epilogue crashing the ’60s theme tune at the end, after that cliffhanger. Imagine if Blink<\/em> had been constantly interrupted by the Doctor and Martha, who were part of the same story, or more accurately if Midnight<\/em> had been interrupted by scenes from Torchwood. Bel\u2019s encounter did further the plot, and introduce some serious cult leader stuff from Azure. An improvement, but she\u2019s still not a patch on Swarm. The nearest we got to him was Jericho\u2019s mention of his bees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the refugees on Pezano were really desperate to get on board, they would have shoved to the front, not stood around vaguely interested like the crowd in Life of Brian<\/em> \u2013 \u2018did she say blessed are the Greeks? Or the Meek?\u2019 Not likely dear; they\u2019ve all been gobbled up. Only the strong will be survivors of the Flux. This is good stuff; tune in next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    There is a scene in issue 2 of the 1983 comic book Love and Rockets <\/em>(reprinted in the graphic novel Maggie the Mechanic<\/em>) where the star of the comic, Maggie Chascarillo, hangs on for dear life to the side of a helicopter as the spaceship they have been repairing is sucked into the ground. Her friend, Penny Century, looks down in delight. \u201cThat\u2019s the stuff comics are made of,\u201d she sighs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As a visual medium with an unlimited budget, there are spectacles that only comics can do without jolting the reader out of the story. It\u2019s not surprising that the superhero genre sprang from the pages of comic books: what other medium could successfully depict people leaping tall buildings in a single bound? (Okay, animation — but that is a labour intensive medium, so the budgetary restrictions still hold).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We have seen over recent years technology catch up with the imaginations of comic artists. The success of the current crop of\u00a0 Marvel films is only possible because visual effects can now recreate those scenes from the original comics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Which brings me to Village of the Angels<\/em>. This was Doctor Who<\/em> doing the stuff that comics are made of. This episode evoked memories of the Doctor Who<\/em> comic strips from the mid-Eighties, principally those written by Steve Parkhouse and drawn by John Ridgway. The scenes in the quantum-locked village of 1901 where Dan, Yaz, and Peggy suddenly reach the end of the world, staring out into the expanse of space could have come straight from those pages. That those scenes can be done on television and work so well, demonstrates how far we have come with visual effects and the quality of the work being done by the production team. And the cliffhanger was straight out of a fan-pleasing comic book. A comic book doing things the TV show could only dream of. Watching the Doctor transform into a Weeping Angel felt like I was watching a Titan comic being brought to life before my eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Truly, this was the stuff Doctor Who<\/em> comics are made of and it would seem now it is the stuff Doctor Who<\/em> television can be made of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A huge success, it seems! What did you think, DWC readers?<\/strong><\/p>\n
