David Tennant\u2019s comeback tour as the Doctor began with the glorified greatest hits set that was \u201cThe Star Beast\u201d\u2013 a sweet, funny slab of kid-friendly telly that lovingly scratched its audience under the chin. But returning showrunner Russell T Davies had promised that \u201cWild Blue Yonder\u201d, the second of Tennant\u2019s three 60th anniversary instalments, would be \u201cdarker\u2026 not scary\u2026 just genuinely weird\u201d. He wasn\u2019t joking. There have always been many sides to the BBC\u2019s most beloved sci-fi franchise. One of its more distinctive flavours is \u201cWeird Who\u201d (remember those killer wheelie bins from Davies\u2019s first season in 2005?).<\/p>\n

It is a tradition that the enjoyably bonkers \u201cWild Blue Yonder\u201d follows with a spring in its stride. Set aboard a haunted starship, this second adventure featuring the reunited Doctor and Donna (Catherine Tate) tips its hat to Ridley Scott\u2019s original Alien. Meanwhile, its plunge into claustrophobic body horror suggests a familiarity with the Dead Space video games.\n<\/p><\/div>\n
