September 2012: Best Release

Doctor Who tops September's release schedule with a breathtaking finale for its two most faithful companions...
Thankfully, after a couple of rather sparse months for entertainment bar some great films, the industry has kicked back into full swing this month. Case in point- Doctor Who. Now into its seventh season, many were expecting that things were going to start to feel stale, but with Asylum Of The Daleks and A Town Called Mercy in particular the show's writers proved in its opening three weeks alone that it still really meant business. Of course, one episode had to come out on top for September's Best Release, and that legendary instalment was naturally The Angels Take Manhattan. Featuring stunning CGI, a breathtaking and daring storyline the likes of which has only been rivalled before by the one other show the Moff heads (Sherlock, if you didn't remember) and of course the best turns yet from Matt Smith, Alex Kingston, Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill, the episode was a beautiful finale for the latter two performers, who I'm sure will go on to do great things outside of the sci-fi drama. That the programme is in such rude health heading into its 50th Anniversary is really saying something, and Angels stands as the epitome of the reasoning behind bringing the programme back in 2005 and still having here pulling in fantastic 7-9 million final ratings every week. Roll on the Christmas Special!...
