In this context, it’s notable that many of these time-loop episodes arrive quite late in the runs of these television shows. Heaven Sent was in some ways a story about how it felt to be showrunning Doctor Who, to have do this incredible task over and over again, and then reset. He had spent years looking for a possible replacement, and had finally found one in Chris Chibnall. He had overseen the fiftieth anniversary.

He had been writing the show for almost five full seasons. By the time he wrote Heaven Sent, Moffat was the most prolific writer in Doctor Who history. There are many ways to read Heaven Sent, but it read convincingly as the story of a writer who felt like he was reaching the end of what he could do with Doctor Who as a television show. The world constantly resets around them, and there’s a sense of both futility and exhaustion to this, like being trapped within the same repeating loop. The character is destined to repeat the same mistakes, to learn the same lessons, to face the same threats. However, the Doctor is constantly reset within Heaven Sent, forced to live the same day over and over again. The entire point of the story is that time continues to move outside the pocket universe in which the Doctor finds himself. Of course, Heaven Sent isn’t really a time loop story. Indeed, it’s notable that perhaps the closest antecedent to Eve of the Daleks in the larger Doctor Who canon is something like Heaven Sent. The show has occasionally played with that within an individual story, most notably in early adventures like The Edge of Destruction or The Chase or The Ark, but by and large the time travel aspect of Doctor Who is a way of linking the show’s stories together, rather than a storytelling device of itself.Īs the show has evolved over time, production teams have grown more comfortable playing with the implications of that, with things like the Doctor arriving after an unseen adventure in The Face of Evil or the TARDIS-within-a-TARDIS in Logopolis, but it’s notable that it wasn’t until the Davies and Moffat eras that the phrase “timey-wimey” became part of the vocabulary of Doctor Who. The TARDIS is a mechanism that takes the Doctor and the rest of the cast to a particular time and place where adventures can happen. Generally speaking, time travel is just a plot device within the world of Doctor Who. In some ways, it makes sense that Doctor Who hasn’t really told a story like this. Instead, it just plays the clichés of these sorts of stories over and over again. It feels very much like a repetition of the era’s most glaring flaws, squandering a fun supporting cast and playful concept on a script that seems completely disinterested in capitalising on either. So it is strange that it has taken Doctor Who so long to attempt something like this, even if the results are depressingly familiar within the larger context of the Chris Chibnall era. These sorts of stories are that rare blend of a simple high concept with an incredible range of narrative opportunities they can be funny or tragic, straightforward or complicated, character- or plot-driven. Even Star Trek: Discovery had Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad. Stargate: SG-1 had the charming Window of Opportunity. Star Trek: The Next Generation had Cause and Effect, which perhaps remains the gold standard. It has become increasingly common for television shows to have timeloop episodes.
