![]() I'm not the biggest fan of Mark Gatiss' episodes, but something I said when I heard about a found-footage episode of Doctor Who was, 'I hope Mark Gatiss writes that episode', because Mark Gatiss may not write the best Doctor Who episodes, but he will make it work, and he sure delivered. I was certainly expecting a lot worse than what we got, and I'm happy with this episode. The episode doesn't end on a high unlike most Doctor Who episodes, the Doctor didn't win here, and I like that, and it seems the universe may actually be in danger from the professor's video, but I'm sure Gatiss' proposed 'sequel' will sort all that out next year, but until then, Sleep no More is a fun but dark episode that I feel is already getting more hate than it deserves. 2 It marked the first time an episode of the series had not featured any opening titles - the title and writer were instead announced at the beginning of the end credits. It was first broadcast on BBC One on 14 November 2015. The acting is cool by the entire cast and I like the characters, to the point where when they died I felt kinder sad. ' Sleep No More ' is the ninth episode of the ninth series of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. The monsters are cool, and somewhat scary, but the fear becomes kinder nullified when the Doctor explains they are made of 'sleep dust', at which point, they suddenly seemed less scary. The scene where Clara is dragged into the sleep pod, is completely baffling, in one shot she is standing with the Doctor, the next she is trapped in the sleep pod, only to be released 5 seconds later. Seeing the story through the viewpoints of the people on the space station is pretty cool, and is used to clever effect at points, but some scenes feel incomplete. The found footage genre is interesting, I personally have seen several found footage horror films and the odd sci-fi adventure done in this style, and they all had one thing in common, they all SUCKED! Sleep no More however manages to do the found-footage genre while still feeling like a Doctor Who story. ![]() ![]() No, it's not the best episode ever, or of series 9, but while it feels a little incomplete at points, the story can be hard to follow and there's no real resolution, I can't fault this episode for it's innovation. Well, it's the polarising Sleep No More, an episode that has divided fan opinions with some calling it the best episode of the series, and other calling it the worst episode ever, me, I though it was pretty damn awesome.
