The New Doctor goes Hammer Horror, and they don't miss a beat. You have femme fatales, renfields, hypnotised brides, and even a lovely young thing running through the moors pursued by wolfmen. And of course, Ian McKellen plays Dracula, or a character so close that it makes no difference. Word is they tried to get Christopher Lee for the part, but McKellen is a better choice, he knows when to camp it up and play it affable. This Dracula, by the way, can't be bothered to suck your blood, he's all about bringing the world to an end, and in a hurry. The episode starts with an overwhelming feeling of unease and menace, builds rapidly from there, and ends in a cliff hanger for the season end. Let's hope that there's another season, so we can find out how our heroes get out of their jam.
