Doctor Who: 5 Things Ben Wheatley Could Bring To Series 8

5. Suspense

Suspense Collection 1 0 There is no doubt that these episodes will most likely be suspenseful €“ scary, even €“because that€™s what Wheatley is known for, ergo, that's what will be expected of him. He can€™t go all out and make thrillers like he has film, but he can bring back the scary aspects that Old Whovians (and by that, I mean Old Who fans €“ not Whovians who are old!) always talk about, and how they often would watch the episodes from behind their couch. I understand a bit, I watched Five€™s regeneration into Six, and even though the effects were nothing like what we have today, it was still scary and had me closing the youtube window. That kind of scariness, a kind of scariness that makes someone in 2013 afraid of an episode that aired in the 1970s is purely the director. It€™s how the director makes the scene, and how he explains the actors to portray the scene. And Ben Wheatley €“one of Britain€™s top directors €“ is going to be amazing at telling Capaldi how to make the scene the scariest it can be. These two episodes could be something the likes of New Who could never seen. We€™ve never had a purely scary episode, even when scary monsters were around, we had comic relief from the Doctor, and it doesn€™t sound like comic relief is on anyone€™s mind for these two episodes.

I'm currently attending my local college while trying to figure out who I am. I love Doctor Who, Sherlock, really any BBC show. I've also been told I'm a bit of a nerd. Specifically, a theatre nerd.
