Doctor Who: Rogue review – Groundbreaking episode marks historic first for series
Warning: this review is also a recap, meaning it contains spoilers for the episode

But just as it seems has settled for 50 minutes of well-intentioned but unspectacular homage, writers Kate Herron and Briony Redman do something unexpected – giving the Doctor a love interest in dashing anti-hero Rogue (, who should know his way around a ballroom, having played George III in the Broadway run).
