Doctor Who - Season 11 Episode 9 Watch Free in HD

Film Inquiry

Overall the episode lacked depth in terms of the Doctor's companions, of whom we learned very little, and it neglected to address any wider story arc for the season.

From zombies possessed by alien mud, to Alan Cumming delivering a majestically cheesy performance as James I, the episode's intent at first is more about delivering a fun romp than it is offering a truly serious lesson about England's witch-dunking craze.

The witchhunt was scary, but the witchfinders stayed ridiculous. Malevolent yes, but ridiculously so.

"The Witchfinders" is another inconsequential romp in a season full of them...This series hasn't been the worst of NuWho - far from it - but it's far from the highs of Tennant and Smith's eras.

The Witchfinders does give us an interesting premise incorporating King James into the mix, but it also feels like it should have been placed earlier in the series.

If you're going to tackle a period of violence that was used as an excuse to rid the world of 'misbehaving' women, there should be some intention behind it.

With terrific performances, a strong sense of menace and deft handling of some difficult themes, this is a fun and frightening story that has more than a little magic about it.

It made everything a joke, and often a joke that wasn't funny. This is a story best avoided...

Unlike many socially-driven episodes of Doctor Who, the monsters don't detract from the greater indictment of human cruelty displayed by both Becka Savage and King James I, and even the larger angry masses in the village.

Sometimes terrifying, sometimes slyly funny, always fully committed to the belief that understanding is the ultimate weapon against evil, The Witchfinders is Who as I imagined it before I'd ever seen an episode.

Fitful. Good opening, nice bit of evil hovering from a masked stranger, good playing as ever from the regulars. Yet soon it all got boggy again.
