valoiseMy 60th anniversary DW rewatch has finally come to the modern era, and I'm surprised at how much pleasure I got from those first few minutes of Rose. It's been a long time since I watched all of Christopher Eccleston's Ninth Doctor. I'd forgotten how much I loved his portrayal.
And this brings me to episode, Dalek. I've never been a particular fan of the Daleks, they've overused in both the classic and modern eras. But this episode is so character driven. Nine and Rose both have great moments. Heck, even the Dalek has some character development here. This all made me look up the writer, Rob Shearman. I knew he'd written for Big Finish but had no idea that he had such a career as a playwright.
