Doctor Who: Fugitive of the Judoon (2020)
Episode 5, Season 12
Using Nostalgia to save the show

No Spoilers, but there are 3 points of this episode which people will point to and claim it means doctor who is BACK:
- The reveal of the Judoon Fugitive
- What happens to the companions in the middle of the episode
- The message / teaser of things to come (which can now be added to the list of other Macguffins which have been introduced this season)
The big problem is that there's nothing new in here at all. The Judoon are a Russell T Davies creation, the mid episode twist is also a throwback to Davies, the revelation of the Fugutive has been done NUMEROUS times and the message is a throwback yet again.
It feels like this show is just starting to throw fanservice at the wall to keep people entertained, rather than trying to think of something new and fun.
