In Dickens and in Gelth (Reanimating “The Unquiet Dead”)
How does a family show like Doctor Who do a zombie horror story? You start by subtracting (most of) the gore, then add a sci-fi twist. That’s good, but what would really make it stand out is if you take a real person from history and cast the best possible actor to play the role. The Unquiet Dead ticks all those eerie boxes, deftly telling a tale of walking corpses, teasing the show’s (then) new mythology of the Time War, and showcasing the show’s central premise of time travel by involving Charles Dickens himself. It’s all thanks to a promising writer named Mark Gatiss — whatever happened to him?
Commentary for The Unquiet Dead begins at 29:53.
