Doctor Who Series 8 Reviews #10: In the Forest of the Night

In the Forest of the Night by Frank Controll Boyce

In the Forest of the Night is the tenth episode of the 8th series of the post 2005 Doctor Who. It features the 4th main appearance of Danny Pink and a reappearance from Missy.

In the Forest of the Night is a story made of an entire cast of Children. There are some plot elements that are a bit silly, so before I start my usual review here are four plot holes of In the Forest of the Night.

1. Maebh is able to out fun a back of wolves. Wolves are quick. Most Children are slow. But even fast children can't out run a pack of wolves.

2. Maebh telling the world not to burn the trees down is silly. It's silly because why would the Governments across the world listen to a little girl.

3. Maebh said that she wanted to tell the world to leave the tress alone because she started the whole thing so she wanted to stop. Despite of course that about 10 minutes before the Doctor said it wasn't her fault and she believed him.

4. Maebh's sister Annabel  just returning from under the bush was pointless. It had no point what so ever. Why would she just run away and come back when her sister wants her too. The element would have been better if she did not return.
