And this is the reason 'Midnight' tops our list as the greatest episode of Doctor Who in the modern era.ĭoctor Who is available to stream on BBC iPlayer in the UK, and older episodes are streaming on Britbox. I feel the main part of my job is communication making sure the carpenters are clear on what they are building, making sure the scenic artists are clear on what they are painting. Ordinary, good people who are pushed to the brink of insanity, resulting in the Doctor coming up against an enemy that he simply couldn't overcome. A new mysterious enemy threatens to tear apart the universe and only you can stop them Armed with the Sonic Screwdriver, players will solve mind-bending puzzles, grapple with iconic monsters and encounter new horizons in a quest to find the Doctor and defeat a powerful force that threatens to destroy the fabric of reality. I would then start creating sketch models with white card, which develop over time to become a final design in colour, both a 1:50 scale model and 3D computer renders. What's so fascinating about Midnight is the psychological nature surrounding each passenger: from the know-it-all Professor Hobbes and his assistant Dee Dee, to the overbearing parents, Biff and Val, with their inquisitive son, Jethro, to the petrified Sky Silvestry and the selfless hostess.Įach has a vital part to play, proving that the scariest things in the galaxy aren’t the Daleks, gas mask zombies or statues that move when you turn away they're people. Companionless, and more desperate than ever, David Tennant's Doctor grapples with the passengers as he tries to convince them that he’s the only one who can save them… to no avail. 'Midnight' is exactly that, trapping the Time Lord with an ever-increasing, distressed group of holiday makers, as something lurks outside of their touring vehicle.

As with 'Blink', the best Doctor Who episodes are often those great sci-fi ideas that could work as entire films.
