A take on the teen horror movie set in a haunted house. Noted playwright and television writer Mike Bartlett's debut Doctor Who episode 'Knock Knock' referenced a joke that we all heard as youngsters.
Bill and her university chums seemed to have sorted their student digs several terms in advance, what they are left with is unsuitable and even then student loans can only stretch so far.
Luck is at hand David Suchet's creepy landlord comes to the rescue, he has a big creaky house, a tower that is out of bounds and plenty of wood. As soon as they go in things start to go bump.
Conveniently the Doctor is helping Bill to move in and decides to stick around and investigate. He quickly gathers that a big draughty house without all the modern conveniences and a landlord harking back to a different age chimes danger.
At its heart, it is the Doctor and companion get split up and one by one the rest disappear. Not a big shake as the rest of the students were thinly sketched and the acting suitably wooden.
An ominous episode which will soon bug you out. A rare event these days, I watched this episode with my daughter who was home on study leave. She and her university mates are currently looking for digs for the autumn term. Whoopee!
