Doctor Who season 1 episode 3 review: "Steven Moffat’s return with 'Boom' is an instant classic"

Doctor who boom.

Steven Moffat’s return to Doctor Who has been eagerly awaited by many, being the man responsible for some of the show’s best episodes including ‘Blink’ (which introduced the Weeping Angels) as well as double bill ‘The Empty Child’ and ‘The Doctor Dances’ (that line “are you my mummy” still haunts me today). However, with it being seven years since Moffat last worked on the beloved sci-fi show, has the former showrunner still got it?

The answer is a resounding yes as his latest episode ‘Boom’ proves once again that no one can write Doctor Who quite like Moffat. This time writer Moffat has teamed up with director Julie Anne Robinson for an episode which strips everything back, showing that less is more to remarkable effect. In short, it’s an instant classic.
