Doctor Who season 2, episode 2 spoiler-free review: 'Lux' is a "bold, bonkers" second episode with an amazing villain

Mr Ring-A-Ding (voiced by Alan Cumming) in Doctor Who: Lux.

The thing about writing these spoiler-free Doctor Who reviews is that sometimes you hit an episode that is defined by a scene in the episode that, for obvious reasons, we can't talk about just yet. That's the case with 'Lux,' the bold, bonkers second episode of Ncuti Gatwa's sophomore season – a story that doesn't so much swing for the fences as bulldoze right through them.

'Lux' picks up moments after 'The Robot Revolution' with the Doctor still trying – and failing – to get Belinda home. He at least manages to reach Earth, but in the wrong decade and location. Rather than London in the 2020s, this is Miami in the '50s. Still, there's a shut down cinema and 15 missing patrons to investigate.
