Doctor Who: Thin Ice review

This is a post-UK broadcast review of Doctor Who. River Song always warned the Doctor against spoilers, so be sure to watch the episode first. Doctor Who broadcasts on Saturdays at 7:20pm UK time on BBC One, and 9pm EDT on BBC America.

Thin Ice is a classic, thoroughly entertaining Doctor Who episode with a plot that finally breaks the ice on series 10 of the popular sci-fi show, while still having time to put kids (both on screen and the hide-behind-the-sofa variety) at the center of the story.

There is more room for Bill Potts (Pearl Mackie) to discover what the Doctor’s motivations are—alongside a good dash of Time Lord ethics: “if I don’t move on, more people die,” he says as a little boy disappears under the ice, never to be seen again. But when he’s challenged by Bill, the Doctor (Peter Capaldi) says: “I’m 2,000 years old and I’ve never had the time for the luxury of outrage.”
