Doctor Who: Good as Gold (2012 TV Short)
3/10
Written by kids -- and it shows!
6 June 2015
Matt Smith and Karen Gillan as the 11th Doctor and Amy Pomd are always superb. And this is no exception. I love the Weeping Angels as well. So you'd think this would be good. You'd be wrong. The script was written by kids and it shows.

Amy believes that she's contractually obligated to receive one adventure per week so the Doctor takes her the 2012 Olympics. Last seen in Fear Her. That should be your first warning. Then the torchbearer enters the TARDIS (not the 10th Doctor because sod continuity) followed by the angel (because sod a whole stadium of observers). Through some magical TARDISey stuff the Doctor destroys the angel and the runner rewards him for being "good as gold" by giving him a gold medal. Even though the games haven't started yet. Hmm.

I don't want to be mean to the kids who wrote it but surely they could've done better than this?
