‘The Runaway Bride’ is one of the recent ’Doctor Who’ episodes, it is a modern remake of the original television programme in Britan that ran for a long time. Unlike the old episodes, the new ones have a more inviting feel about them because they are modern with the characters they use and things they relate to so more people can relate to them and enjoy them more!
‘Doctor Who: The Runaway Bride’ was set in 2006 in London, it is about a bride called Donna who was happily walking down the aisle on her wedding day but all of a sudden disappears! She finds herself on a spaceship staring at a strange man(Doctor Who) who was very surprised and curious as to how she had come and who she was. The Doctor examined Donna and found out she is made up of unusual small particles, human particles. Meanwhile evil robots disguised as Santa’s go undercover, their mission was to bring Donna to the Racnoss(who was a massive spider). The Doctor was trying to figure out how Donna had got the particles. Donna said that Lance had been giving her a coffee every morning for 6 months. That was it, and because she had, had lots of them she was now completely made up of tiny human particles! They came face to face with the genus behind it all, the ‘Racnoss’. The giant spider was scheming to repopulate her kind through her children and rule the world! They would live on humans(that was why they were there). To Donna and the Doctors surprise Lance was on the ‘Rancnoss’s’ side all along. Will the ‘Racnoss’ take over and rule the world? To discover the amazing twist to the end of this wonderful scientific modern day fantasy you’ll have to watch it!
Russell T Davies who is the talented writer, produced a very well put together modern film.
Euros Lyn, the director, added to the storyline turning everyday objects in our lives into unusual things. For example, there was a flying phone booth but inside was the Doctors spaceship and the evil robots disguised as Santa’s, making the movie unpredictable and suspenseful!
Over all the character were very well suited to their parts. I particularly like the Doctor, he’s role was unusual and no-one really new his character properly, throughout the episode clues were given away and at the end he said his kind was responsible for the extinction of the Racnoss! I certainly didn’t picture that. The Racnoss was also another character that I liked. What amazed me was the makeup, the costume and all the hard work that had been put into making it look so good. It was almost breath taking. The only complaint that I would say was the unnatural-ism on the charactors face, it was like someone said be sad so they turned on a sad face, it didn’t look that convincing to me.
The main character, ‘Dr Who’ is played by David Tennant. David Tennant, is an English writer, his career began when he got a part in The Royal Shakespeare Company. He also played a role in the very well known film ‘Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire’. He had lead roles in many dramas as-well he even worked with one of the other ‘Doctor Who’ charactors Christopher Eccleston, many people have mixed comments about which is better at filling the role of ‘DoctorWho’. Also in the Royal Shakespeare Company was the actress Catherine Tate who played Donna Noble (the bride) in ‘Doctor Who’. She also had a massive hit with her show’ The Catherine Tate Show’ as-well as many other movies with lead roles that she created herself.
I thoroughly enjoed the film ‘Doctor Who: The Runaway Bride’. I can’t really relate to all the other ’Doctor Who’ films because I haven’t seen them. So I can’t say that this film is better than all the rest. Although in the next episode I would like to see some better acting but overall I’m looking forward to the next episode of the modern scientific, film, ‘Doctor Who’.
