YMMV / Doctor Who S30 E7 "The Unicorn and the Wasp"

Go To

  • Genius Bonus: When the Doctor runs into the kitchen after being poisoned, he blurts out "ginger beer" when he corners a very confused Davenport (the footman who is secretly in a gay relationship with Roger) as he searches for ginger beer. "Ginger beer" is also a word describing someone as "queer" (or homosexual) in Cockney rhyming slang.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: This episode suggests that Christie remembered some parts of the incident and they influenced her future works. The Wasps Nest is one of those stories. Peter Capaldi, the Twelfth Doctor, appears in the ITV adaptation of Agatha Christie's Poirot, in the Wasp's Nest episode.
  • Retroactive Recognition: A pre-Rogue One Felicity Jones has fun putting on a ridiculous Cockney accent when she's revealed to be The Unicorn.
  • So Okay, It's Average: Seen by a fair few fans as the weakest link in the otherwise extremely strong Series 4, and even then it's usually not regarded as an outright bad story so much as a middling and not especially memorable one.
