So it's finally here. On the 23rd November at precisely 17:16pm the very first episode of Doctor Who aired, and at the time I'm sure no one thought we'd still be here 50 years later. The show has experienced some turbulent times over the years, but in the last eight years has arguably bounced back bigger and stronger than ever, and was in perfect position to celebrate its golden anniversary in style. There have been plenty of wonderful productions to celebrate this momentous occasion - Big Finish's own multi-Doctor crossover audio "The Light at the End" , Gatiss' moving docudrama about the birth of the show "An Adventure in Space and Time" and even a wonderful skit of Peter Davison, Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy (that's Doctors 5, 6 and 7) going on an epic quest to earn a place in the anniversary special. Each has served a different purpose and celebrated in its own special way, but this is the big one - the television 50th anniversary...

So here we have it, after 5 years of Russel T Davies being head writer for the relaunched Doctor Who and David Tennant wowing us as the 10th incarnation of the Time Lord, its time to say goodbye to them both in the 2 part Christmas/New Year's special "The End of Time", also featuring John Simm's incarnation of the Master as Bernard Cribbins as Wilfred Mott. Since the episodes have only just aired and there's plenty of plot details availible on wikipedia I'm going to skip outlining the story and move straight onto my thoughts of it all, because there's a lot of them.... Part One I may aswell get this out of the way first, this was without a doubt one of the worst episodes of new Who I've seen (okay, it's not quite as bad as 'Love and Monsters' , but given the hype behind EoT this felt a whole lot more grim and underwhelming). From the Master being magically resurrected by the Cult of Saxon and having what can only be described as super power...
