Are You Feeling Lucky? Lucky Day: Episode 4 Has Landed – Our Thoughts

This week's Doctor Who, "Lucky Day," offered a fascinating blend of classic monster-of-the-week tropes with some intriguing character exploration and a deepening of the season's overarching mysteries.

Here's a breakdown of our thoughts: Daniel's ThoughtsAfter last week’s introduction to the wonderfully poised Miss Belinda Chandra, former Queen of Missbelindachandra-one, it felt like perfect timing to plunge her into the wonderfully weird world the Doctor inhabits. Miami, 1952, became the backdrop for mysterious disappearances around an American Picture House – or Cinema, for us Brits. The episode also offered poignant glimpses into […]
