“Doctor Who”: New Series Begins
I’ve always found the show a head-scratching bore with appeal mostly to teenage boys and men in arrested development, but as Ethel Merman said after seeing “Torch Song Trilogy”: “Everybody else liked it so what the fuck do I know?” As for “Doctor Who,” “The Magician’s Apprentice” two-part episode kicks things off on Saturday, so Peter Capaldi talks about the Daleks, Michelle Gomez’s return as Missy and the Doctor’s changing relationship with Clara. This show is much bigger in the UK than in the US.
