For example, while she prefers to be nice and do genuinely kind things, she’s also more than a little kooky and funny, too. She’s not just the exact opposite of Missy, but she’s also her equal. One that’s a clear (and even openly stated) parallel to another Doctor Who character. And it has to be said, it’s a brilliant idea. The second half of the story is when her identity is revealed. The first half is essentially Missy trying to find out who she is, creating as much chaos as she can to get her attention. Initially, we know little about her, other than the fact that she’s eager to stop Missy’s evildoing at any and every opportunity. What also makes the story work is the Lumiat herself.

(L to R) Beth Chalmers, Eve Webster, Matthew Jacobs-Morgan, Gina McKee, and John Banks feature in this opening episode of Missy. McMullin knows how to write a great villain protagonist, but more importantly, she knows how to write for Missy perfectly, a key reason why this story works so well. We should hate her for it, but at the same time, we can’t help but root for her. Missy gets to have plenty of truly nasty moments in this episode – usually while being absolutely hilarious at the same time. Series 1 didn’t exactly shy away from it, but The Lumiat takes it up to eleven. What’s particularly great is how much she indulges in Missy being completely and utterly evil. Lisa McMullin clearly had a lot of fun writing this episode. Like Missy’s best enemy, this mysterious woman is a complete do-gooder who enjoys saving people. She’s hoping to get the Doctor’s attention, but someone else entirely shows up. The second series of Missy kicks off with the evil Time Lady having a lot of fun by indulging in plenty of chaos and destruction. But who is she really? And how does she know so much about Missy? By James Aggas 2 years ago Doctor Who spin-off Missy: Series 2 begins with her meeting her exact opposite in the form of the Lumiat.
