Why This Dark Turn Makes Sense for The Doctor Who Specials
The decision to take a dark route in the special may be surprising forDoctor Whoon the aerofoil . After all , the show is rated TV - PG in the United States and generally take desirable for folk . FormerDoctor Whowriter and showrunner Stephen Moffat – who was behind one of the most historically terrifying instalment , “ Blink”–has recently attested to the grandness ofDoctor Who ’s behemoth being “ fundamentally silly,”supporting the inherent goofiness of the show .
However , the running big businessman of the upcomingDoctor Whospecials is simple : nostalgia . It is not the novel , eight - twelvemonth - former viewers who are excited about Tennant and Colorado - maven Catherine Tate ’s returns to the show , but those who were “ an eight - class - old watching ” at the time when Tennant primitively starred in the show . The fair game interview that can be nostalgic for these time are all now adults and thus can handle more intenseDoctor Whocontent .
TheDoctor Whotrailershows that it will build on panic attack in a way that specifically take in on puerility fears . TheDoctor Whospecials see Neil Patrick Harris step in to play a malevolent miniature - making scoundrel . Developing twisted theme out of childhood pleasure is particularly gratifying to adults , and in this case specially so for those who are longtimeDoctor Whoviewers . interview will soon see this darker world for themselves as theDoctor Whospecials release at the end of this calendar month .
