    Oh 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.

    If 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

    Who was it last week?

    They reused a cast member last week and now they’ve done it again this episode

    Yes, a lot of people knew when she was cast

    Anyone noticed the other woman at the start was ranis mum from sarah jane 🙂

    Ok 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!

    It was OK for my i didn’t really like the ending.

    A 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!

    Great

    This one didn’t work for me.

    Its a shame as Peter and Pearl are great together.

    The classic series often had the TARDIS whizzing through space

    Makes 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

    It 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

    I 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

    Fields 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 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.

    In the good old moff tradition

    Good Lord what a theory!! They could still be actually, cybermen to keep the human race going in some form

  • The Outcast

    April 23rd, 2017 - 2:50am

    He doesn’t seem to be in the next 2 episodes much either.

    Just a joke. I don’t actually think this episode encourages capitalism.
    As you can see, I liked the episode. I gave it 8/10.

    So 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

    Thought this might be a more silly episode but I was pleasantly surprised.

    Totally agree Tim, good idea leaving Nardole out of this one (except for a cameo) so that the chemestry between the Doc & Bill can develop.

  • Anonymous

    April 23rd, 2017 - 12:12am

    Nardole is in every episode.

    Anyone else think the engine was just a washing machine?

    Thought all those tombs were Cybermen for a minute, imagine that twist

    I quite liked it, thought it was very Twilight Zone ish.

    This storyline had a lot of strong emotions between the Doctor and Bill and the robots was very good.
