Talk:Doctor Who: Retro Series/The Grand Old

Review: The Strong Old People:
The Grand Old is a fantastic episode and it bhrings together a brilliant ide of both the first Doctor and Ian. The plot was fast paced and one issue I had was the ending which went by way to quick and perhaps a little bit of after bits would have been nice, Barbera's reaction to Ian perhaps. But the rest of the plot was fantastically set up.

The Elderon's (name is probably wrong :P) are excellent villains in particular Sid and Sarah who make the plot move along nicely and seem to be very effective in their ways and I liked the old homes and old people bit. You have clearly improved in writing since your TND story almost a year ago and now it is fantastic.

The companions were put to great use especially Ian who had to make the hard choice of blowing up the place and he did it in an ingenious way whilst Barbera was great to see the other side where she did not want to kill all those people. The old teachers and students of Coal Hill School were put to great use and the disappearance of Ian and Barbera from 1963 was a great addition. Did 1994 have any particular significance? Just wondering if it was just a random date or you chose it for a specific reason.

Excellent plot, excellent characters, great villains and only the rushed ending let it down. Fantastically done, Turtlecake365 (talk) 17:47, April 29, 2015 (UTC).
