If ever there was an arc of stories that deserved to be told for television within the Doctor Who universe, then The Time War would surely be the set that the fandom would overwhelmingly clamour, would petition in their droves to have given precedence over all others.

Inclusivity has arguably never had so much attention cast upon it, the weary eye of the put upon silent majority misunderstanding the point of the word, of the detail, and grasping at it as of it’s a barbed weapon they are forbidden to touch, to have no empathy to the souls who only ask for respect for being alive; of being able to live their lives without fear.

Time travel never leaves the user unscarred, even in the least convincing of films and television series, it is a given that consequences are unavoidable even for the hardiest of souls, that Time is often a bitter and twisted entity that thrives on chaos, confusion, and humanity’s folly in believing that even the smallest interaction will leave them unscathed.

It was turn of the 20th Century author M.R. James who asserted that the spectres within a ghost story should always have malevolent intent if the story is to work, if it is to prick the conscious of the reader and give them the type of scare in which boundaries are crossed between the world we see and the domain of the dead.

When taking on a big television production, one with a tale that should be enormous and potentially gripping beyond anything else on television in a single year, it often helps the series realise its own levels of genius by not overpowering it with too many subplots and characters to whom the story would not miss one single iota. Some of the greatest mini-series ever have relied solely on the narrow focus, on the detail and not the illusion and it is unfortunately a piece of television advice forgotten largely in the creation of Paranoid.

Space, perhaps the most dangerous place that Humanity’s eyes can ever see and yet the peril, the threat of the black canvas is one in which at some point surely anybody who has ever lived has dreamed about seeing. To take in the whole majesty of the speck of rock we cling to, to dare to take a chance on seeing for ourselves the neglected sphere for all its beauty and destruction, surely that makes space worthwhile.
