What Did You Think of Doctor Who: Eve of the Daleks?

The Daleks! On New Year’s Day! Did anyone else get a proper bit of déjà vu?

The Daleks? On New Year’s Day? Did anyone else get a proper bit of déjà vu?

Yes, the Daleks returned once more on 1st January, completing a trilogy of Thirteenth Doctor Dalek tales to air on New Year’s, a tradition that began with Resolution and continued with Revolution of the Daleks.

Eve of the Daleks saw the Doctor (Jodie Whittaker) and her companions, Yasmin Khan (Mandip Gill) and Dan Lewis (John Bishop), stuck in a time loop at ELF Storage, alongside Sarah (Aisling Bea) and Nick (Adjani Salmon). But what did you think of the 2022 special?

Voted? Great. Thanks. But we’d like to hear your thoughts too. Were you happy to be stuck in this loop? Did the time just drag? How did the episode line you up for Jodie Whittaker’s final two episodes, to be screened in 2022? Let us know in the comments section below.

And a very Happy New Year to all our readers!
