Season 1, Episode 2
9/10
The Devil's Chord
11 May 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Also known as the Beatles episode. Only the Beatles look too old and nothing like Paul and John.

Ruby wants to see the Beatles record their first album back in 1963. The Doctor thinks it is a brilliant idea.

Only this is a world where music has disappeared. Britain of 1963 lacks colour, tunes and a zest for life. The Beatles can't sing for toffee.

It is all the fault of the Maestro (Jinkx Monsoon) who feeds off the music that has not been created. Only this majestic maestro is not the Master. Something even more sinister. The giggle is a giveaway.

The music is the thing in this story. It is a kind of episode that Doctor Who has not done before in its 60 years. There is even a fantastic dance number at the end.

I do wonder if there will be a twist at the end!
