Goodbye to 12 - Doctor Who - Robot of Sherwood Review
We celebrate the Peter Capaldi era by revisiting the 12th Doctor's adventures as we count down the days to his last adventure.
Doctor Who:
Robot of Sherwood
By Mark Gatiss
“Shut it, Hoody!”
Being a fan of Robin Hood I was somewhat lukewarm to the prospect of Doctor Who doing an episode centered on him and Sherwood Forest and the overall Robin Hood legend. That and the writer for this episode was Mark Gatiss who has been really hit or miss with his stories. In Series 7 he wrote the good “Cold War” and the very bad “The Crimson Horror” and of course how could we forget the very bad “Sleep No More” in Series 9 but he does have some good stories also like “Empress of Mars.” So now we look at his first 12th Doctor story “Robot of Sherwood” and from looking at the trailers, when it first aired, it looked like it could be one that could very well be uneventful and not all that good.

Doctor Who - Robot of Sherwood - Review (some spoilers) - UPDATED
Review By Ken Parker

Why does Doctor Who always have
bad episodes each season? I guess all the variety of writers and
settings and stories automatically leads to some stories not being
right for everyone. Each of us has our own likes and dislikes.
Where does “Robot of Sherwood” fall for you?
For me it appeared from the trailers
that we were in for the first dud of the season. Silly hijinks and
other trappings associated with the overused tale of Robin Hood could
easily lead to a below par episode but was there enough gold to lift
the story up above mediocrity?
I watched this episode once before reviewing it initially and after watching it again I added a few observations and changed my mind about a few things.
