From:

The BBC New Online thing seems to be from a ... less technical angle? Of course all eyes are on Hamlet, it's Hamlet.

Also, minus points for Doctor comparisons. Yes he looks like the Doctor. We know that. General comparison not needed. (Specific could be useful, but it aren't a very specific review.)

I doubt there's any firsts left for Hamlet, including Parkas.
But the hair is indeed a powerful tool.

He lacks nothing in emotional intensity. Not when I saw it.

"And he delivers the play's most famous lines without fanfare. They are there, subtle and seamless."
Yes, that. He's not Doing A Speech Now, he's doing the play.

Also, it's only the Doctor Who Hamlet when you write it that way.
I'm pretty sure it's not the only DW connected Hamlet around right now, let alone ever.

Louise Jameson (Leela, classic series) and Joseph Millson (Sarah Jane Adventures).
Finished in July I think it says.

ANYway... my point is, people are in Doctor Who and also in other things and this has been true of previous Doctors let alone previous DW 'verse people.

It is David Tennant's Hamlet. *nods*

Review thinks he's not the best Hamlet. I wouldn't know. But the way it says it is like 'may not be, could be, maybe someday' and it's a bit... blah.

Okay, so if you're trying to find out what the play is like, does this review help?
Yeah, a bit, I guess.
If you think it's like those first couple minutes where you're going 'look, Doctor Who! hehehe', which I think wears off quicker.
