Episode Discussion: The Interstellar Song Contest

I have never in my life been invested in the Eurovision, so I don’t have very high expectations for this one. I also find musical episodes to be extremely hit or miss (in my experience, we need to know the characters very well and the songs have to be integrated naturally and with a logical (in-universe) explanation, or it just doesn’t land - which I’m not sure is possible at this point with Doctor Who). This era doesn’t have a great track record with original songs in my opinion, which also isn’t making me super excited. But who knows! I love camp Doctor Who, so maybe this will be exactly what I want.

I think this ep is gonna be very camp, which is also right up my street so I can’t wait for that aspect of things.

Unfortunately, it is the other half of the sentence that I find more integral to my enjoyment of a musical episode.

I hope we get a proper full on musical ep one day rather than just verging on it with one or two numbers.

Him all teary eyed & yearning.

Her: why you staring at me? You’re proper freaking me out. Stop staring at me bruv. I said stop staring. Weirdo.

I’m so glad Carol Ann Ford is back, after all these years, we finally have Susan Foreman back on screen.
