PLOT SUMMARY
Elton Pope and his friends meet regularly to discuss sightings of a
mysterious stranger known only as The Doctor and occassionally play
ELO covers in their band. Everything changes when they are joined by
the mysterious Victor Kennedy who is also looking for The Doctor but
who is not quite everything he appears to be...
CAPSULE REVIEW
One of the most controversial Doctor Who stories ever,
Love & Monsters caused uproar among online Doctor
Who communities. It's a brave experiment - The Doctor and Rose barely
feature at all and it's more about the impact their adventures have
on the ordinary people around them - but one let down by Peter Kay's
unconvincing performance. Still, it shows the extraordinary flexibility
of the Who format, features some genuinely laugh-out-loud
moments and some fanboy baiting borderline obscene jokes. A failure,
but a noble one.
