Something is alive in the walls, and the emojibots are watching from the shadows, as the Doctor and Bill trying to unravel a terrifying mystery…

TARDIS H
April 28th, 2017 - 5:25pmOh yes Jennifer Hennessy
Now I realise. I am actually quite upset that I didn’t recognise her sooner. I have her autograph. She is an amazing actress.
Doctor Stu
April 27th, 2017 - 8:13pmIf that question was for me I don’t know but the cast member they reused last week was Brannigans wife from Gridlock as Bill’s foster mother
TARDIS H
April 27th, 2017 - 4:53pmWho was it last week?
Doctor Stu
April 26th, 2017 - 9:48pmThey reused a cast member last week and now they’ve done it again this episode

April 26th, 2017 - 3:01pmAnyone noticed the other woman at the start was ranis mum from sarah jane 🙂
Exterminator
April 25th, 2017 - 12:10pmOk episode, I liked the futuristic setting and the relationship between the Dr and Bill but I thought the robots that kill you if you’re not happy story was a bit silly.
This episode is another example of where the show could be so much better if they just showed a bit of gore and blood when people die. This was like kids tv and I’d like it to be more adult. I know it’s a family show but it’s got to be scary otherwise you might as well put it on for kids after school.
Make it scary, make it dark, make it good!
Borg
April 25th, 2017 - 2:53amIt was OK for my i didn’t really like the ending.
The Living Shadow
April 24th, 2017 - 5:21pmA decent episode. A very solid, decent episode. Not the kind of decent episode that’s poorly written, with some good moments, or cool visuals, which redeem it a little, like we’ve been seeing a lot these days in Doctor Who. To me this was a genuinely solid, and well written decent episode!

Alex Who?
April 23rd, 2017 - 10:16pmThis one didn’t work for me.
Its a shame as Peter and Pearl are great together.
Whorules
April 23rd, 2017 - 7:30pmThe classic series often had the TARDIS whizzing through space
pats86
April 23rd, 2017 - 7:27pmMakes no difference if anyone dies, with Moffat running the show no one actually dies anyway!
Well no one significant anyhow….oh the pain I felt when Clara reappeared and lived on (in a fashion)
Doctor Stu
April 23rd, 2017 - 4:55pmIt looked so promising at the start I thought the episode might be quite dark but then the wheels fell off half way through and it never really recovered. bit like the entirety of series 9
The Surgeon
April 23rd, 2017 - 3:34pmI don’t follow you. What’s to say the Tardis hadn’t landed in space, so to speak, so you can see it flying through physical space as well
Random Critic
April 23rd, 2017 - 12:44pmFields of wheat, as far as the eye can see, and what’s on the menu? Algae. Lol!
Oh, and the TARDIS is doing that “whizzing through space” thing again. When it implies some kind of take-off or landing sequence, for something that just de-materializes or materializes, why even bother? The vortex at least made some kind of sense. They could have easily had a votex with a fuzzy image of the planet Earth in the distance. Instead, they explain what the TARDIS is one week, only to throw that in the bin the following week.
The Outcast
April 23rd, 2017 - 9:44amThe Hybrid was the worst arc in the entirety of Who history. Seriously, this show is called Doctor who, not Doctor we-know-everything-about-you. Somethings aren’t meant to be seen or told On-Screen. But the Moffat comes in with Clara and decides to have be the be-all and end-all of Doctor Who. NO!!! No one has the right to do that. Yeah, sure we’ve had Lungbarrow, be there is a massive debate on whether its canon or not and its an amazing and inventive story (apparently, I’ve not had the fortune to read it). Also Hell Bent’s reason for why the Doctor Who is really, really stupid and seriously under-whelming.

April 23rd, 2017 - 7:35amGood Lord what a theory!! They could still be actually, cybermen to keep the human race going in some form
The Outcast
April 23rd, 2017 - 2:50amHe doesn’t seem to be in the next 2 episodes much either.
Dr RevWho
April 23rd, 2017 - 1:53amJust a joke. I don’t actually think this episode encourages capitalism.
As you can see, I liked the episode. I gave it 8/10.
catnip
April 23rd, 2017 - 1:10amSo the writer who came up with In The Forest of the Night wrote Smile as well? Where the hell was such a good story like Smile then when the abysmal former episode was made? Why give the lead role some enjoyable stories when they are departing?
The Moffat Paradox
April 23rd, 2017 - 12:46amThought this might be a more silly episode but I was pleasantly surprised.
Mick181
April 23rd, 2017 - 12:18amTotally agree Tim, good idea leaving Nardole out of this one (except for a cameo) so that the chemestry between the Doc & Bill can develop.

April 23rd, 2017 - 12:12amNardole is in every episode.

April 22nd, 2017 - 11:21pmAnyone else think the engine was just a washing machine?

April 22nd, 2017 - 11:20pmThought all those tombs were Cybermen for a minute, imagine that twist
KORSAIR
April 22nd, 2017 - 11:11pmI quite liked it, thought it was very Twilight Zone ish.
Spamella
April 22nd, 2017 - 10:33pmThis storyline had a lot of strong emotions between the Doctor and Bill and the robots was very good.
