Dr Who Review, Part 12 - The Matt Smith Era

The twelfth episode in my ongoing series of reviews, with analysis, of the BBC science-fiction show, Doctor Who. In this part, we examine how the baton of showrunner was handed over to Steven Moffat and how he immediately set out his stall with a more fairytale, yet convoluted, iteration of Doctor Who, casting the youngest actor to yet play the lead role, and overseeing the monumental milestone that was the 50th anniversary of the programme! Featuring the vocal talents of Jack Reeves!
