Caroline Siede Episodic Medium (Substack) May 9
Where “Dot and Bubble” warned us never to trust a white woman with a big Instagram following, “Lucky Day” warns us never to trust a man with a podcast. Go to Full Review Vicky Jessop London Evening Standard May 5
4/5
"Lucky Day" joins the pantheon of those episodes, and goes one better -- tapping into the current climate of unease and fake news and asking, what if people thought aliens weren’t real? (Imagine!) Go to Full Review Isobel Lewis AV Club May 5

As a standalone ep, “Lucky Day”, written by Pete McTighe, isn’t bad, even if it does suffer from the consistency issues that have largely been absent from season two so far. Go to Full Review Emmet Asher-Perrin Reactor Jul 28
I simply cannot get over the fact that the setup of Conrad’s little social media empire makes no sense. At the very least, it makes every one of the Doctor’s friends look utterly brainless. Go to Full Review William Tucker But Why Tho? A Geek Community May 18
8/10
It’s possibly the first Doctor-Lite episode that doesn’t feature the Doctor’s current companion, but instead the supporting cast and Ruby. It can feel like a spin-off for that reason. Go to Full Review Amelia Harvey That Hashtag Show May 6

‘Lucky Day’ has everything you could want from an episode of Doctor Who. It’s funny, it’s action-packed, it’s unexpected, it has great monsters, and fantastic leading ladies. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
