Chris Chibnall’s foray into a 21st-century multi-episode Doctor Who series mostly works, but leaves plenty of unanswered questions for next year
“What an awfully big adventure,” said Kevin McNally’s Prof Jericho as he faced certain death at the hands of either a Sontaran or the Flux, or possibly both simultaneously. And in fairness to executive producers Chris Chibnall and Matt Strevens, in pre-publicity they promised that Doctor Who: Flux was going to be an awfully big adventure. It was.
Did chapter six work as a standalone episode where Sontarans invaded Earth and used it as a base to conquer what was left of the universe? Yes. Did it work as a unifying story to tie together all the disparate threads of the past six weeks? Not always.
