The 60th anniversary of 'Doctor Who' is marked by a special episode, 'The Star Beast,' receiving a retro reimagining. The episode features David Tennant, who was starstruck when meeting comic creators Pat Mills and Dave Gibbons. The show's return under Russell T. Davies includes a focus on trans struggles, with the new Tardis design receiving mixed reviews. However, some critics express disappointment, claiming the show has lost its fun and become overly didactic.
