Doctor Who: Kerblam! ★★★★

“A satire on online shopping – with lethal robots and Lee Mack – this is a prime delivery, customer satisfaction guaranteed

Kerblam! mostly feels like very progressive Doctor Who, a highly polished production with honed storytelling, all wrapped up in a neat package and delivered first class to your living room.”

– Radio Times

Kerblam!” is the best episode of Doctor Who since Series 8’s “Listen.”

“….the episode exploits its futuristic setting to ponder a modern-day ethical dilemma, making “Kerblam!” a stunning example of science fiction at its finest.

Kerblam!” is everything one could want from an episode of Doctor Who: a perfect mix of action, humor, and debate; a narrative that references the series’ past while serving its current cast; and timely satire disguised as science fiction. Featuring a vibrantly memorable guest cast, the episode is elegantly realized and sure to please both mindful viewers hungry for a layered, nuanced look at mercantilism and morality, and casual fans looking for a funny, adventurous romp through the corporate future.future.”

– Clint Hassell, DR Who TV

★★★★

“It’s fast paced, well acted, a little barmy, full of twists and little bit moralistic in all the right places.
Kerblam! delivers some familiar tropes of Doctor Who, but it packs enough twists right up until the last few minutes that a Broadchurch showrunner would be very happy.”

– Daniel Jackson, The Mirror

★★★★

“Doctor Who at its finely teased best. There’s a grown-up point – do we really all want to be replaced by machines? – but also lashings of quippy banter and funny/scary robots. Just what the Doctor ordered.”

– Ed Power, The Independent

The Tsuranga Conundrum

“The best episode of the new-look series so far.”

– Michael Horgan, The Telegraph

Kerblam!

“‘Kerblam!’ remains… a near-perfect package, blending action, scares, and just a dash of satire to great effect.”

– Morgan Jeffery, Digital Spy
