Pointless Witterings

Written by Jonathan Morris Directed by Ken Bentley Starring Sylvester McCoy, Bonnie Langford & Nicholas Briggs I just thought that I'd write some thoughts on this story, since it's recently released, and since little has been put on this blog recently, so I've decided to post something about a recent story to keep the blog ticking over. One thing that I really liked about We Are The Daleks was how it felt really fresh and original. After all, this is the 201st Main Range release, and it has been made clear that this is meant to be a new start to the range. And I think that this is really well put across, because even though this story is made up of certain elements that have been seen before e.g. video games that aren't what they seem, Daleks who are pretending to be something there not, people being persuaded by the lure of economic power etc., etc. But Morris doesn't simply use these tropes to fuel a story, but rather uses them as a very powerful vehicle...
