Blood Vessel: Middle episode. This does not immediately go into the cliffhanger to the previous episode. Steven Moffat did the same in Doctor Who: The Witch's Familiar which concluded the previous episode The Magician's Apprentice. Dracula is a passenger on the ship the Demeter. I see what Moffat and Mark Gatiss did there as vessel is a also a word for ship and how much Dracula craves blood. Playing Dr Sharma is Sacha Dhawan. This came on January 2 2020 and the previous day Dhawan was in Doctor Who: Spyfall Part One in which his character O was revealed to be the Master. Incidentally the said The Magician's Apprentice/The Witch's Familiar featured Dhawan's predecessor as the Master, Michelle Gomez. Blood Vessel is not the first time that Dhawan had performed in a narrative written by Gatiss as he was in the Sherlock season 4 opener The Six Thatchers and before that played first Doctor Who director Waris Hussein in An Adventure in Space and Time with Moffat as executive producer. Blood Vessel has a character named Dorabella played by Lily Dodsworth-Evans. Undoubtedly it was Gatiss who named this character as he had used that name before in his Doctor Who episode Victory of the Daleks with Moffat as showrunner, the unseen woman that has Bracewell's love I was surprised to find playing the Duchess Valeria is Catherine Schell. According to IMDb prior to this she had retired from acting in 1996. Intriguing that Dracula has a conversation with Sister Agatha and cuts to and fro of events of the ship. Enthralling as it sets up Dracula's attack on his fellow passengers and he sure got a surprise at the end.
