Last time Rona Munro wrote for Doctor Who the show went off air for 16 years not that it was her fault. However history was made as Munro becomes the first person to write for Classic Who and Nu Who as well as having written for televised Doctor Who in both the 20th and 21st Century.
Munro delves in Celtic history on a mystical setting of of second century Caledonia as Bill wants to find out what happened to the Roman 9th legion.
What we get are talking crows and a CGI monster, the eater of light with a meditation to lost youth as both the Picts and Romans have lost their elders and it is up to the youth to set aside their differences and unite to defeat the monster as the Doctor prepares to make his own sacrifice.
The Doctor is a little more caustic here and it is remarkable how few stories we have had in Doctor Who that have actually been set in Scotland.
Director Charles Palmer has set a good standard in the visuals as much of the action has a nighttime and interior settings. Munro has written an understated and elegiac episode.
