I’ve always had a soft spot for Who episodes that aren’t Doctor-centric. Just think of Steven Moffat’s horror classic Blink, which starred a young Carey Mulligan and introduced the spectacularly creepy Weeping Angels. Or indeed 73 Yards, last year’s entry, which featured a lot of Millie Gibson, not a lot of Ncuti Gatwa, and was hailed as one of the best entries of the season.
Lucky Day joins the pantheon of those episodes, and goes one better – tapping into the current climate of unease and fake news and asking, what if people thought aliens weren’t real? (Imagine!)
