October 11th, 2015 - 8:55amBut remember O’Donnell came out from nowhere as soon as she died. Timey Wimey!
DOCTOR WHO ONE
October 11th, 2015 - 7:03amFelt obvious that the ghost Doctor was a hologram to begin win, otherwise he’d have been encountered at the start of the part 1 last week with the other ghosts.
Didn’t understand the opening of yesterdays episode thou, and forgive me for being blunt about asking this, but what has Beethoven symphony No.5 got to do with the story ?. Didn’t make any sense that.

October 10th, 2015 - 11:18pmShaping up to be the best series in a long time. I know its early days and there are always 1 or 2 weak episodes in a series…but things will really have to fall apart for this series to end up disappointing.
I’ve always admired PC as an actor but even I wasn’t convinced of his style in the last series but he has really come into it now and I am loving 12…even Clara isnt irritating me anymore 🙂

October 10th, 2015 - 10:50pmGreat episode, this series is already miles better than the last one and I think the two-episode stories have helped a lot. I said last week that the Doctor was in the capsule ! I would however have liked to see a little more of the Fisher King. They obviously put a lot of effort into the design and costume, all for what was only a few minutes on screen.

October 10th, 2015 - 10:38pmLoved every second.
Cass feeling the vibrations of the axe was a good touch, and I love the fact that the show portrayed her as a strong woman who was independent and able to look after herself.
Guitar theme was ace, as was the opening speech – I personally love all that Fourth-Wall-breaking stuff.

October 10th, 2015 - 10:33pmYes I saw that!!
You see them all over the place in Moffat’s era if you look – it saves the BBC from having to use a real-world brand.

October 10th, 2015 - 10:02pmThe monster voice to me sounded like the 456 voice from Torchwood: Children of Earth

October 10th, 2015 - 10:00pmDid anyone notice at the beginning that the Doctor’s guitar amplify is produced by Magpie electronics?

October 10th, 2015 - 9:41pmGreat episode, and I loved the new theme music!

October 10th, 2015 - 9:33pmReally enjoyed the new intro, just loved the guitar to the theme tune. The episode was a great end to a two parter and really enjoyed seeing something different such as the sign language in the episodes. Preferred the first 2 parters but still good over all

October 10th, 2015 - 9:31pmI really liked prentice
Doctor Hugh
October 10th, 2015 - 9:29pmIf an Alien and a Predator had a baby together it would look like the villain in tonight’s episode
MrHaloWho
October 10th, 2015 - 9:28pmHated it. I thought the ending was a massive cop-out, the fact that the Doctor created a ghost using his sunglasses, and the Tivolli guy was completely thrown in. Why did they need him at all?

October 10th, 2015 - 9:26pmI think the theme tune is better with the guitar music in the background

October 10th, 2015 - 9:25pmGreat acting and great overall production values. But I felt this episode was a bit too convoluted, and would have lost a few viewers attention. Nevertheless, a very good two-parter. I still prefer the Dalek opening story, but this was okay. 7/10

October 10th, 2015 - 9:22pmI really didn’t like the fourth wall being broken…

October 10th, 2015 - 9:18pmAgree I thought he had a big resemblance to the shalka prime
The Temporal Jelly Baby
October 10th, 2015 - 9:16pmPretty good. The Fisher King was done well, including the great design. The plot was fairly timey wimey, but I think I followed it. 🙂

October 10th, 2015 - 9:14pmSuperb story. A wee bit of timey wimey put in where the doc crosses his own timeline. Thoroughly enjoyed this.
