Doctor Who Series 8 Reviews #6: The Caretaker

The Caretaker by Steven Moaffat and Gareth Roberts

The Caretaker is the 6th Story of the 8th Series of the revived series of Doctor Who. Danny Pink makes are 4th Appearance on the 8th Series. Courtney and Mr Armitage make their second appearance and Missy makes her third appearance.

The Caretaker is a down to earth story. You can see the similarities with The Lodger and Closing Time, two previous Gareth Roberts stories. It is a great script but I felt that the Scovox Blitzer was a back story and the Doctor - Danny relationship is the front story when really it should be in the other way round
