The
bank heist is such a familiar story that it’s a wonder Doctor Who hasn’t tried it before. Presumably there has always been
a feeling that it was not a suitable subject for the show given its intended
audience? However this series is showing increasingly later (next week- 8.30!)
in the schedules suggesting that it is not especially intended for younger
viewers at all. Indeed it seems to be cutting away from even Steven Moffat’s
previously established dimensions something that is paying dividends. Suddenly
the environs of time and space feel a little less congested than of late with
new sights and references popping up to the extent that for the first time in
several years it feels like the Universe is a very, very big place indeed. As
it should.
