Last night's episode of Dr Who- Smile- was a nicely traditional one-off- and was written by a screenwriter- Frank Cottrell-Boyce- who has a considerable reputation to live up to. Doctor and companion land on planet where everything seems too good to be true, things turn nasty, they do some running, there's a twist, he presses the "reset button" and everything is hunky-dory again. There was lots of lovely banter, some nice self-referential stuff about the Tardis, some lightly handled but potentially heavy-duty thoughts about slavery and exploitation- and the threat was provided by a crew of dinky little robots with emoji faces who were all the more scary for being insufferably cute.
