Hello there Doctor Who it's that time of the week that we all love and look forward to oh and there's a new episode of Doctor Who as well but lets not waste any more time so here is my review of Empress Of Mars.
The plot of this weeks episode is a bit hard to describe so put it simply our main trio end up on Mars where they encounter an Ice Warrior. That's really all i can think of without giving away anything to major but i will say that in terms of story i thought this episode was rather weak and was not the best Mark Gatiss written episode but it did have some good pacing.
In terms of casting we of course have our main trio and for me out of those three the best performer was Peter altho you could see Pearl's confidence raising which i thought was nice Matt was only there for a few scenes. In terms of guest cast we have Anthony Calf , Ferdinand Kingsley , Richard Ashton and Adele Lynch i really thought the guest cast did a great job especially Adele who i think had the hardest job acting under a lot of make up but she was really good in this episode.
The Ice Warriors i thought were rather weak in this episode they didn't come across as rather threatening they were just there really they looked great but looking great is only half the job you have to also act scary as well and be treated as a threat which they weren't they were treated just a pest really.
There are a few cameos in this episode which i won't mention but they were really fun cameos and both of them are near the end of the episode. The best scene for me in the whole episode was the opening just due to how fun and funny it was plus it has a great CGI opening as well.
Overall this was rather a weak episode with only a few good points so for me this episode is a 6 out of 10 and sorry this review if rather short
