A good ghost story at Christmas is fitting, it reminds us not to take life for granted, it urges us to think of those we have lost, not just in the passing of the calendar year, but throughout our lives; for in that memory, we understand that time is fleeting, it is corporeal, and at times the lesson it wishes to teach is one to which is required to scare us into doing the right thing.

To get a British comedy series to a hundred episodes is no mean feat, it is rare, it takes perseverance, and a following that almost pleads with the makers to continue the story line of a much-loved character and those who are family, friends, and the recipients of the farce that often ensues.

The Daleks may well be the ultimate embodiment of what it means to think of an enemy that is relentless, unfeeling, without emotion, and whilst you know that they will never understand compassion or empathy, they are but dust when the fan comes to think of their creator, when Davros enters the narrative, for in just one being you have a fictional character that can be seen in the most evil of men that have ever walked the Earth; that this creature who first locked intellect with the Doctor in Genesis of the Daleks, is in every way the master of genocide, of propaganda and lies, and to whom the viewer associates completely with the malevolent wickedness of Fascism.

If ever there was an arc of stories that deserved to be told for television within the Doctor Who universe, then The Time War would surely be the set that the fandom would overwhelmingly clamour, would petition in their droves to have given precedence over all others.

From death under water, to death from the skies, the second series of the initial smash hit Vigil once more hits the ground running as it pushes Detectives Amy Silva and Kirsten Longacre to the limit of their emotions and deductive powers as a routine demonstration of military hardwire suddenly turns into an horrendous murder scene and slaughter.

The Time War rages on, and The Doctor, free of being pressed into Galactic Service as a recruit, still finds his freedom to help where he can, the reluctant warrior in a senseless never-ending war, curtailed by the machinations of the evil on both sides; be it the Daleks or the Timelords, the war between them is bringing destruction to a wider scope of existence…and at the very basis of life they both show how little they care for the innocent casualty, for the races that scream in horror as they are erased or slaughtered in the name of victory.

Every beginning must lead to an end; a story after all, unlike a legend, must have the courage to understand that what lays ahead after the initial introductions must be resolute to revealing the finish, the culmination in what the hero or the villain has been leading to before they take the next step on in the universes’ great adventure.
