New Who 8.3 Robot of Sherwood

Yes, the title of this post is correct. I was away all of last weekend, only saw this episode on Monday night, didn't have time to write it up in the week, and haven't even seen Listen yet either due to being out at a house-warming party last night. (The sacrifices I make for you, glitzfrau!) So here I am, slightly over a week behind on Who-blogging.

I expected little more than fun and fluff from this story, but actually it delivered fun, fluff and quite a bit of substance to boot. In particular, it continued to develop the ( questions of heroism and what constitutes a hero from the first two episodes very nicely )

This is great, but it also leave me with a slight niggling sense of dissatisfaction, because a naive belief in heroes ( can be dangerous as well as inspirational )

Maybe I'm over-reading what was basically just ( a meta-fictional romp through story-land, though )

Meanwhile, both Clara and the Doctor get some further ( nice character moments )

Finally, obviously this week's nod to the season's Big Plot Arc ( is a spoiler )
