SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Doctor Who has produced some excellent episodes through the decades, but "Boom" is one of its finest offerings in almost a decade. The franchise has faltered in recent years, with Chris Chibnall's time as showrunner leading to some controversial additions/changes to the established show canon. So, it's a relief that the Disney era of Doctor Who has managed to restore the property to its former glory.
Moffat's "Boom" Concept Brings The Best Out Of Ncuti Gatwa & Millie Gibson The episode forces Doctor Who season 14's main duo to up their game even further Close The setting of "Boom" is intentionally limited, with almost every moment of the story unfolding within an incredibly small area. Removing the safety blankets of the thrilling chases and exotic alien villains means Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson need to approach their respective roles differently.
For instance, Varada Sethu enters Doctor Who an entire season early, with the actor set to enter the TARDIS as the Doctor's companion in season 15. Sethu does a tremendous job as Mundy Flynn in her Doctor Who debut, and her chemistry with Ncuti and Gibson is a promising sign of what's to come in the show's near future. While Sethu has a little more agency to act in a traditional manner during "Boom," she still handles the restrictions very well.
Related Doctor Who Season 14 Beautifully Pays Tribute To Patrick Troughton's Second Doctor Patrick Troughton's Second Doctor is remembered for an iconic trait, and Ncuti Gatwa's Fifteenth Doctor artfully makes reference to it in"Boom." Both "Heaven Sent" and "Boom" serve as proof that although Doctor Who does have an established formula, straying from it can be equally effective - if not even more so. Part of the reason why Chris Chibnall's time as showrunner fell short of expectations could have been his decision to always flood his scripts with as many characters as possible. However, Moffat's example of making use of minimalist storytelling can often lead to a much more compelling episode.
