Doctor Who Revolution of the Daleks

The Daleks return and each time they do , they have their metallic butts kicked across the galaxy and beyond, but how gullible were they to answer a call thinking it's their own kind.  We find a Dalek remnant is stolen when transported by GCHQ and of course it had to be an inside job, as we know.  But stopping for coffee breaks, I mean get yourself a big flask.  MP Patterson (future PM) (Harriet Walter) gets Jack Robertson (Chris Noth) to make it into a high powered metal security machine, aka tin can is what I thought of.  But anyway it's all cos Britain needs security!!  Job security, security from everything really, even shoddy, bungling MPS and PM!  So year later she's elected PM (parody of the Tories right there, would-be Margaret Thatcher ha.)  As Robertson is 3D printing out Daleks to police the streets.  Which apparently was accepted by the Brits and none of these freedom loving sods kicked up a storm about freedoms being overtaken by AI, or having such eyesores on their streets.  But yeah accept it and move on!  Should've had giant, metal spiders instead, that'd really get the masses showing their arachnophobia.  Wait been there, though not metallic! 

Remember during the first lockdown, how there was a video tweet on Twitter where a lone Dalek patrolled the street, wonder who saw that and thought this would be a good idea, part premise for a Doctor Who ep.  Best moment had to be PM being exterminated, short lived prime ministership!! Ha.  If only art mimicked real life, or rather vice versa, wouldn't life be grand.

Scientist Leo (Nathan Stewart-Jarrett) reveals to Robertson how he was working on something else after he found a smidgen of organic matter and he cloned it.  Cue Dalek conscious and Robertson thinks it's ugly, funny that he didn't think the spiders were revolting!  Anyhoo he wants it incinerated and Leo's loathe not do it but opens the cage instead of just throwing the entire thing into the fire.  Dalek takes him over and he is taken away to Osaka, Japan where the Dalek had the intelligence to set up a factory mass producing Daleks, all funded by Robertson, funny this got past him and his accounts department!!  

Yaz (Mandip Gill) is firmly of the belief that the Doctor (Jodi Whittaker) is out there somewhere and she's left clues for them to find her.  Ryan (Tosin Cole) and Graham (Bradley Walsh) can't believe she's been doing all this and sleeping in the TARDIS too.  Thinking they should find a way of taking it and finding her.  As we see the Doctor imprisoned on the the Rock, ha, the prison planet rock.  In the same old groundhog day routine where she sees a Weeping Angel caged, Bonnie and Clyde and the P'ting too.  As she tells him he can't eat the cage cos she's tried, not surprised with the dry, yuk stuff she was being fed.  Funny the Weeping Angel being there, what crime did it commit, cos weren't they all evil anyway.  This one was imprisoned.  Miss those Angels! 

Eventually Capt Jack (John Barrowman) comes along to rescue her, as her routine is disrupted by his new face.  He has a device which will form a bubble (if only we could really use these) which will break through the walls, where he takes her away with his Vortex bracelet.  She's been there 19 years, but Earth time is 10 months.  As she thanks him and it took him committing several crimes to end up in the prison.  She returns to the TARDIS and is eager to see her fam again, who are following leads on Robertson and they think they can get into his office if only they had some of the Doctor's psychic paper.  As Yaz hears the TARDIS in Graham's living room.  She would!  She'll stick with the Doctor through thick and thin as she pushes her back instead of hugging her.  Which Jack notices.

They tell her about Robertson and the Dalek so she has to act to save humanity again.  Arriving at Robertson's office she tells him about the Daleks and how evil they are.  He doesn't know what she's talking about since the Daleks are AI and are robotic.  She takes Robertson back to the TARDIS as they hunt for the Dalek and gets them to Japan.  Where Jack takes Yaz who volunteers to go with him.  As they arrive he tells her he noticed her reaction to the Doctor and also he tells her how he's immortal, the Doctor having something to do with that.  Arriving by TARDIS gives the Doctor time to have a last yarn with Ryan and how she loves beanies too; reminding him of the yellow one he was wearing when they met and she knew he was someone worth getting to know.  Ryan telling her he's not the same person anymore.  As the Doctor isn't either, since she thought she was from Gallifray and how everything she thought she knew wasn't really her life.  

Jack and Yaz find the Daleks and Yaz wants to take a sample of the fluid the Daleks are suspended in.  As they are attacked by two crawling out of their case.  As the Doctor arrives, they find the fluid to be human, the workers from the plant.  Heading back to the TARDIS the Doctor has an idea to signal the Dalek fleet disguised as another Dalek message from the new ones and they arrive in San Francisco, where she watches them and the AI Daleks confront them.  The originals won't accept them as they're not pure as they detect humans.  However the AI argues they can become pure.  Destroying them, Robertson wants to be on their side betraying their humanity and blabbing that the Doctor sent the signal.  As they take him away to their leader, Graham, Ryan and Jack transport onto the Mother ship to plant explosives.  Also having to rescue Robertson.  The Doctor appears to them and they enter the TARDIS under the pretence of ridding the Doctor once and for all, but she's tricked them and the second TARDIS is crushed and sent to a place far, far away.  Robertson tells the Doctor he didn't betray her but was a decoy to help her.  

Ryan decides he wants to stay on earth and hep the planet.  Graham also wants to stay with him and she gives them psychic paper to help.  Yaz would want to stay with her and the Doctor thinks she should go back an hour before and then land so they can all be together.  She should've been here and not missed them for 10 months.  Ryan practices bike riding again as they see grandmother/wife, Grace (Sharon D Clarke).  Falling off his bike again, they hear about a factory in Korea when the workers refuse to attend after witnessing unusual events.

Also Rose was mentioned by Jack, some sort of foreshadowing as he tells her she's in a parallel world.  Jack also mentions the Cybermen and the Doctor said she did give them the Cyberium but she handled them.  The Doctor Who foes having their own theme tune.  The Daleks had a menacing one and the Cybermen had one I used to say sounded a bit Carry On Screaming when they used to show the monsters, Oddbod and Oddbod Jnr.  Ha.   

Robertson talking about knowing what's required for policing, spoken by Det Mikey Logan, Law and Order.  Again there's mention his being a hero on Newsnight and his run for President which he doesn't talk about.  SO after betraying the Doctor he comes through with flying colours in his own selfish interests.  Two Jacks in the same ep, one truly heroic and the other own looking for his own heroic, selfish glory.  Though Chris Noth was better this time round than the spider ep.  As he was more abhorrently representative of politicians currently on both sides of the Pond!  Sorry to see the pair go but Graham had some of the best lines in the series.  Still waiting for an explanation of the Doctor's past!
