In a sun-dappled Sherwood forest, the Doctor discovers an evil plan from beyond the stars and strikes up an unlikely alliance with Robin Hood.
With all of Nottingham at stake, the Doctor must decide who is real and who is fake. Can impossible heroes really exist?

September 6th, 2014 - 9:28pmI’m a true Whovian. I have been watching it since 2005 and I have bought and watched over 70 classic adventures, and I just happen to like series 8. 🙂

September 6th, 2014 - 9:28pmwell adz what do you think listen will be like
Rollonregen
September 6th, 2014 - 9:27pmStill watching in hope. Still watching as a Whovian who still enjoys the Tardis, Clara, etc, and who WOULD LOVE to be thoroughly enjoying it again. I wouldn’t abandon the Whoniverse part way through a series, however this will be the first series of the modern era that won’t be added to our DVD collection. And our little boys (who each have differing views on the 12th) are also miffed that the Character Building figures are so small!! – Anyone have any views on the small figures??
Adz
September 6th, 2014 - 9:27pmNo did not enjoy it AT ALL.
The Temporal Jelly Baby
September 6th, 2014 - 9:25pmLet’s just ignore everything else apart from one thing for now: did you enjoy it? Plot flaws and things like that do indeed matter, but enjoyability is the most important thing.
Adz
September 6th, 2014 - 9:25pmWhy am I still watching? Because I am a massive Dr Who fan, and therefore I really wanted to believe in series 8. So far I am so disappointed, but just hope that I may come to find an episode that will turn me back around. So far though – not even close to being turned.

September 6th, 2014 - 9:24pmDid anybody else notice that Capaldi put a middle finger to Robin when he reached into his jacket to grab the spoon? I don’t think it was intentional but if it was, well done Gatiss!

September 6th, 2014 - 9:21pmI understand your disappointment for this episode but the series so far has been great and if you have found the series so far terrible why are you still watching it?

September 6th, 2014 - 9:20pmAgreed, hubby and I are hanging on my our fingernails hoping one episode will be good. So far a very disappointing series and we hate the new music
The Temporal Jelly Baby
September 6th, 2014 - 9:20pmAs the astronaut of death mentioned, overall, Deep Breath and Into the Dalek had very good reviews on here and other places on the internet. It looks like series 8 is doing well for most Whovians…though the viewing figures don’t seem to be doing that well.

September 6th, 2014 - 9:19pmyeah the last two episodes have been very dark so I think it is time for a lighter one
and next weeks looks incredibly dark
so calm before the storm 😉

September 6th, 2014 - 9:18pmWe’ll this is one critic who was a fan, who now is SO disappointed.
Rollonregen
September 6th, 2014 - 9:18pmOf course he’ll be there for season 9. Its a great gig, why wouldn’t he?? And Moffat wouldn’t keep him for only one season after ‘bigging him up’ so much, as that would make him look like a fool.

September 6th, 2014 - 9:17pm‘Twas ok. One for the kids…which is fair enough.

September 6th, 2014 - 9:17pmthe last two episodes have both got outstanding reviews from fans and critics

September 6th, 2014 - 9:15pmCharlie I think you went a bit over the top there
Adz
September 6th, 2014 - 9:14pmSorry anonymous but ALL the episodes so far have been terrible. Nothing to write home about.

September 6th, 2014 - 9:12pmSorry, but I’m going to have to disagree with you there, Charlie. This episode wasn’t very good compared to others, but still enjoyable. Into the Dalek was brilliant and Deep Breath was pretty good too.
Adz
September 6th, 2014 - 9:12pmAnonymous – I think your mistaken. Hope he knows when to quit.

September 6th, 2014 - 9:10pmcapaldi has not been let down!
the only person who can say he has been let down is the man himself
and if he did feel that then he would not have signed up for series 9 would he?
Adz
September 6th, 2014 - 9:09pmAgreed with Charlie

September 6th, 2014 - 9:09pmI do like Peter Capaldi as the Doctor. I prefer Matt Smith overall, but Capaldi is still very good and definitely feels like the Doctor too. As I posted above, this episode didn’t quite work, but it was still enjoyable and Into the Dalek was a brilliant episode (Deep Breath was very good but below my expectations). I wouldn’t be quite as harsh as you were there, Rollonregan, but people have different opinions. 🙂

September 6th, 2014 - 9:08pmLooks great, I think it’ll be another chiller like Blink, lets just hope it can live up to it.
Adz
September 6th, 2014 - 9:07pmAgreed also
the astronaut of death
September 6th, 2014 - 9:07pmI don’t think it was “awful” it was my worst episode of the series though
but I still think it was great i think it was good to have a bit of a fun episode after two dark ones
and I don’t think this is the worst series at all actually I think it is on its way into being the best
and it actually was funny
Adz
September 6th, 2014 - 9:05pmAgreed withRollonregen – not liking series 8 at all. Sorry Capaldi but you just are not The Doctor.
Scripts the poorest I’ve seen for ages.
