September 21st, 2015 - 9:00amAn improvement on many of last years episodes but I can’t warm to the Missy character she still grates on my nerves, was nice to see Davros back though.
The Temporal Jelly Baby
September 21st, 2015 - 9:02amAw, that’s a shame. I thought Missy was fantastic! Well, people have different opinions. What don’t you like about her?
booboo
September 21st, 2015 - 9:02amI Love Missy as a Character, but not as the Master, if she had turned out to be the Rani it would have been perfect
The Moffat Paradox
September 21st, 2015 - 10:21amEach to their own but personally give me Missy over the dreaded River Song anytime.

September 21st, 2015 - 8:46amLike many, I watched it again to check minor details. However, the one thing that irks me so much is the guitar scene. It was an utterly superfluous “comedy” one that should have really been left for the DVD releases.
The Temporal Jelly Baby
September 21st, 2015 - 9:00amThe tank and guitar scene was actually the best scene for a couple of people I know. Honestly, while it wasn’t quite my favourite scene, I thought it was pretty good too. I understand that silliness can be over done in Doctor Who (the golden arrow in Robot of Sherwood), but I reckon that bit of silliness actually worked. After all, I did laugh and smile – always a good sign. 🙂

September 21st, 2015 - 5:00amGreat episode. I have been hoping for many years that Davros Lives. Imagine if the Doctor actually does kill the child Davros; he could prevent the Time War, and save so many lives. In the end, it’s a similar debate to the ‘Genesis of the Daleks’, when Tom Baker had the chance to destroy the Daleks, but couldn’t, because of all the alliances that were made because of the fear of the Daleks, and all the things that might be unravelled. However, if The Doctor does decide to kill Davros as a child with a Dalek weapon, that’s a paradox, because Davros would not have lived to create the Daleks at all, and therefore he couldn’t have used the weapon. So much Wibbly Wobbly, Timey Wimey stuff in Doctor Who. Still, great series opener; had a very Jon Pertwee style Dalek/Master story vibe.

September 21st, 2015 - 12:23amI just love the fact that in a slimy bar in the farthest, darkest corner of the universe they’re listening to Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds!
Sid Rat
September 20th, 2015 - 10:53pmI took me a while to warm to Peter Capaldi last series and I am now getting used to him. I quite enjoyed last night’s episode and it was a pleasure to see Davros again – I wasn’t expecting that.
Doctor Stu
September 20th, 2015 - 10:12pmI feel like missy and Clara had teleports all along and were planning on being ‘exterminated’ because it’s not in Clara’s nature to just randomly try and run from a room of Daleks, she’s not thick
Who’sGoneWrong??
September 20th, 2015 - 9:32pmO.M.G.!!!!!!! Seems that I’m not alone in thinking the series with Capaldi/Moffatt at the helm has badly lost it’s way and credibility…… Just seen the viewing figures for the launch episode….. ONLY 4.6 MILLION bothered to tune in!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Thought 6.8 Million last series was bad enuff!!!! Like I said earlier, ” The Magician’s Apprentice” ( Still think it’ s a stoopid title ) had enough plot-holes, continuity gaffes, bland acting, and mind-numbing holes in the script to turn even an avid fan off!!!! Missy’s now his best friend…Eh??? The Doctor’s gonna kill a child…Eh??? We’ll send Snakehead to search for the Doctor – even tho we’ve already sent a Dalek/Human hybrid disguised as a barbarian to do battle with him while he uses a Guitar and Tank to ‘hide’ and be inconspicuous….. Double EH???? Davros has (somehow) survived David Tennant’s Doctor…( just make your own theory up folks….who cares anymore….even the producers can’t be bothered to explain how……) Any way you cut it, the bottom line is that we deserve BETTER and the series is in TROUBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even with catch-up viewers etc the figures are DIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gordon
September 20th, 2015 - 11:26pmThe way viewers watch things have changed massively. Overnight figures mean nothing plus having X factor and rugby as competition is another reason. It still was the most watched show on bbc yesterday. 6.8 million watched deep breath overnight but the final figure was 10.76 million viewers when everything was taken Into account. That’s almost a 4 million gap between watching it live and time shift/I player. Another example flatline 4.6 million viewers but once the live plus 7 figures was taken into account it got 7.8 million. It’s not just doctor who. X factor has dropped 2 million and eastenders regularly gets under 5 million on overnights. It got 4.7 million on Friday. It’s obvious that overnights means nothing in 2015.

September 21st, 2015 - 11:41amAnd theres also how well it goes down in the rest of the world and Online/DVD/Blu-Ray sales.
dan23uk
September 20th, 2015 - 8:37pmMissy said she needed 8 snipers 3 for each heart & 2 for brainstem. Does this mean she has 3 hearts? The doctor has only 2.
100,000BC
September 20th, 2015 - 8:40pm3 for each heart = 3 for heart one + 3 for heart two = 6
6 + 2 = 8.
Simple.

September 20th, 2015 - 8:18pmAnyone find it weird Davros has got a switch on his control panel specifically for listening to old Doctor Who quotes

September 20th, 2015 - 9:03pmThis episode is set after the last time you saw him. because you can see/hear- David Tennant’s doctor in this scene.
Stephen m
September 20th, 2015 - 7:37pmInteresting that everyone thinks the doctor is going back to kill davros. Davros challenged him to say the commission was a mistake and he is looking with the guilt of creating davros by not saving him, so surely he had gone back to rescue davros and change events that way?

September 20th, 2015 - 7:39pmSorry that should say compassion not commission

September 20th, 2015 - 4:50pmHow did Davros survive at the end of series 47 years ago ?.
Answer – Emergency Temporal Shift 🙂

September 21st, 2015 - 7:05amOops, sorry guys yeah series 4, ment to press the space bar between 4 and 7 !! 😀
John
September 20th, 2015 - 4:44pmClara and missy must have been teleported because in the trailer of season 9 Clara was holding a cannon and running through a corridor so she must be alive
JellyBaby100
September 20th, 2015 - 5:10pmThe implication is that the Doctor kills Bubby Davros, the Daleks aren’t created, Clara and Missy don’t die.
Anonymous
September 20th, 2015 - 7:35pmPersonally for episode 1 this is the best episode I have watched from capaldi so far, it was a really good way to bring back davros and the daleks with skaro. This was an awesome way to start a promising doctor who series. I’m looking forward to part 2 😀
Doctor Stu
September 20th, 2015 - 4:36pmI bet Missy’s got a TARDIS stashed somewhere and that’s how they escape also on the second series 9 trailer Clara’s holding a knife to missy I bet they have both been transported somewhere instead of being exterminated and this is where this scene takes place
Doctor Stu
September 20th, 2015 - 4:39pmMissy makes Clara jump, Clara turns on her with a knife and then realizes it’s only missy, they both get into Missy’s TARDIS, pick up the Doctor, leave all the daleks there on skaro, the doctor drops missy off and then changes the interior design so it resembles his TARDIS that was destroyed by the Daleks. Bit far fetched maybe? I dunno…, something along these lines anyway is my prediction
SketchJr
September 20th, 2015 - 4:53pmNoooooooooooo, the tardis will have got teleported away as well, Steven Moffat wouldn’t be that stupid he wouldn’t destroy the tardis, cos it’s the the main character along with the doctor, it’s like killing the doctor off, no offence
JellyBaby100
September 20th, 2015 - 5:11pmIt was rumored last year that a red telephone box seen in the background in Dark Water was Missy’s TARDIS. And now I’m certain of it because it was in the background in a series 9 behind the scenes video (I forget which one).
Rufus
September 21st, 2015 - 2:11pmforgive my sins,for if Missy and Clara passed on then so be it but not the TARDIS….and I got a bad feeling, unless the whole series is a quest to find the TARDIS.
The Moffat Paradox
September 20th, 2015 - 4:34pmNo online Doctor Extra anymore? Guess the BEEB is really watching the pennies.
JellyBaby100
September 20th, 2015 - 5:12pmThere is, four 2 1/2 minute extras on the BBC YouTube channel.
Doctortwelveidiot
September 20th, 2015 - 2:56pmLoved it!! Seeing even more of Capaldi’s darker Doctor coming out. It is Doctor Who as it should be. It’s going to be a long week waiting on the next episode 😀
DOCTOR WHO ONE
September 20th, 2015 - 2:49pmFor those of you wondering how Davros escaped the destruction of the Daleks very own Death Star, the Dalek Crucible, 7 years ago. 3 Words –
Emergency Temporal Shift.
True, we never saw him say those 3 words just before the Crucible blew up, but it does seem possible, since Time War Daleks have the capability, and there’s no saying Davros’s modern chair does not have the same feature too. It’s better then just thinking he escaped again via an Escape Pod like he did ‘Resurrection’ and ‘Remembrance of the Daleks’ 🙂
Who’sGoneWrong??
September 20th, 2015 - 2:16pmIs it just me or does Stephen Moffat just not geddit? Does he actually READ what he’s written?? The magician’s apprentice ( rubbishy title by the way – why not something actually coherent like “The Search for the Doctor” or “The Dylng Throes of Davros” ) was an episode that promised much and delivered a MESS!! Why the electric guitar and tank none sense?? Also notice that they were brought to/left behind in the 12th century or whenever which automatically contaminates that time period – something the Doctor would NEVER sanction!! And as for the search – when Snakehead found the doctor and teleported him away it then showed that one of the barbarians was in fact a human/Dalek hybrid (complete with eyestalk) all along!!!!! So why send Snakehead on a search in the first place?? Why not just get the Hybrid to capture the Doctor and save us all some stupid confusion??? Oh, and as for Missy….”With the Tardis the Daleks can travel to other worlds/time blah, blah,”…. Errr….She’d just witnessed Snakehead and the Hybrid do exactly THAT when they were captured for gawd’s sake!!!! And WHY oh WHY would the Doctor bequeath his last will and testament to Missy/the Master…..???? Someone who (as we all saw folks) randomly kills others!!! Instead of a mesmerising Doctor/Master story of yesteryear…. We now have a ‘punch and judy’ tale devoid of any gravitas or common sense. And as for the Cliffhanger…. The Doctor even THINKING of exterminating a child…….What the *********?????????? Sorry Mr Moffat but my family won’t be watching next week…….Think you have genuinely lost the plot and we need commonsense NOT random rubbish.
JellyBaby100
September 20th, 2015 - 5:54pmJesus Christ calm the f*ck down. I can answer your question about the ‘Barbarian’ Bors; he was converted into a Dalek by the snake from Colony Sarff.
The Daleks possess Time Travel yes, they have done since 1965 in ‘The Chase’. But their Time capsules are crude and unreliable. TARDISes are far more sophisticated. Besides, Missy only expected them to want it, when clearly they didn’t because they exterminated her and it!
The Doctor exterminating Bubby Davros makes sense, think about the amount of people that will die if he doesn’t.
Anonymous
September 20th, 2015 - 8:10pm“The Dylng Throes of Davros”
Given there was absolutely no mention of Davros in any promotional material whatsoever barring a leaked teaser which was intended for episode 2 that would never have happened. Think it through before posting stuff like this.
Anonymous
September 20th, 2015 - 11:01pmGood, go away. After what you just wrote, you should be the last person I hear complaints of not being coherent from.
cman1O1dalek
September 20th, 2015 - 1:04pmand its a bummer that we have to wait till the 26 for this and now I hope he does not blow up the city of the daleks but makes all the daleks forget him again but or they try to kill them when they get in to the TARDIS
Dalek Smith
September 20th, 2015 - 12:59pmEnjoyed: Davros, Capaldi finally being a rebel time lord, the Daleks feeling threatening at the end, beginning to like Missy.
Dislike: Clara was hit and miss, the entire bit with the planes was completely unecessary.
I’m not going to give this one an overall score yet as it’s a two-parter and I’d like to see where the Davros stuff goes and see if some of the plot-holes are resolved.
Dalek Smith
September 20th, 2015 - 1:01pmAlso liked the classic daleks doing some stuff…. unlike in Asylum.
cman1O1dalek
September 20th, 2015 - 12:58pmand I hope that the daleks come back in season 10

September 20th, 2015 - 12:59pmwhoops but its a great episode but it sucks when it has to on the 26 we cant wait that long!!!
The Moffat Paradox
September 20th, 2015 - 1:41pmI wouldn’t worry too much about that.Their regular use is part of the deal with the Terry Nation estate.
Anonymous
September 20th, 2015 - 8:12pmThat’s not true. Steven Moffat confirmed back in 2011 that the condition forcing their use was no longer in effect (it had been for the past few years, but it wasn’t any more) he just keeps using them because he views them as an essential part of Doctor Who.
The Moffat Paradox
September 20th, 2015 - 11:23pmAn essential part of the Who universe owned at least in part by the Terry Nation estate which means the BBC cant just use them willy nilly.Especially when merchandising deals and profit shares are also involved.

September 20th, 2015 - 12:06pmCapaldis first season was a bit hit and miss. I,m hoping ‘the witches familiar maintains the consistency because the opener is a bona fide instant classic, the best dalek story since ‘asylum’. The narrative was more straightforward. it felt more like a penultimate build up to a season finale. Heres hoping all the stories inbetween are of this standard. Seeing davros looking jaded pitifully slumped over,the dying man just seemed too good to be true so seeing him rise up in his chair glaring manically into next weeks trailer seemed to show davros in his true colours. Loved the inclusion of those dalek clips. So davros, like the cybermen was recording the doctor all along. Missy was hilarious. I,m gradually converting to michelle gomez’ interpretation of the master. Similar to the loopiness of the character she played in ‘Green wing’. Iwould like to say, would it hurt the writer to throw in the odd funny line for kate stewart to prove shes her fathers daughter rather than have her on duty as an exposition on legs. Also, I know the doctor wanted his friends by his side for his final 3 week party as a supposed final hurrah but why did he feel the need to be anachronistic in the 12th century. It seemed a little out of character. This was after all the man who foiled the meddling monk in the 11th century for exactly the same thing. What,i wonder, happened with the electric guitar and the tank dudes?
James
September 20th, 2015 - 11:59amWell Done to Steven Moffat and Peter Capaldi for finally killing off the Doctor.
Oh, he may be still around and kicking, but the character himself is now dead to me and my wife. Compassion has always been THE KEY PART of the Doctor, the only thing that really tied together all of them from William Hartnell to Matt Smith. Peter Capaldi has been slowly killing that aspect of the Doctor since he came into the role, and now with this episode has finally killed the character completely. It was right that they foreshadowed his death, because he’s dead to all true fans of the show and the character.
Dalek the Supreme
September 20th, 2015 - 1:52pmThe point is that the Doctor’s compassion is being tested and pushed to the limit by Davros and the Daleks. Do you not want to see our main character go through a huge moral dilemma?
Miffo
September 20th, 2015 - 2:14pmI agree with @Dalek the Supreme testing the Doctor like this is so engaging and interesting 🙂 Capaldi is an amazing Doctor, for me one of the best! He acts perfectly and plays the Doctor extremely well.
I love seeing him in episodes like this where his compassion is tested 🙂 Can’t wait to see what happens next week!

September 20th, 2015 - 11:09amExterminate! No!
But which friend is the Doctor saving? He kinda lost three.
While I know the Master/Missy has an uncanny knack of surviving the impossible & Clara’s teleport is linked to Missy’s & maybe they went into the Tardis, moving it at the last second (like Donna and Doctor 10 clone did), I wonder if this two parter is directly linked to the final 2. If the Doctor is making a confession maybe the intervening episodes are the story leading up to why he was on Skaro not saving Davros in the first place. Maybe we HAVE seen Clara’s exit.
As to the episode, loved it. Yes the Doctor’s party was silly but that was the point. The Doctor always tries to distract himself when he’s done something very wrong or there’s something he does not want to face.
Exterminate! Maybe the Doctor is a good Dalek…
Some bloke
September 20th, 2015 - 10:39amI thought it was incredible and amazing just as everyone else, but my only problem was the “cliffhanger”…it wasn’t really a cliffhanger at all, I mean sure it ended on a “oh no, whats going to happen next”, but it was ruined by the “to be continued”!! I thought it was going to be like a proper cliffhanger with the doctors “Exterminate” and a 3 second freeze on his face as the music whooshes in over it, like the good ol’ cliffhangers! But it was cut short by a cut to the “to be continued” and then the music cam after, which I thought was a bit of a let down!!
No “to be continued”‘s and but the whoosh back over the final shot where it belongs, please!
whovian 204
September 20th, 2015 - 9:22amwell they didn’t really explain how davros survived either
Doctor Stu
September 20th, 2015 - 11:05amHe was probably wounded from the crucible explosion and teleported away to Skaro but we shouldn’t just presume we need a good explanation.
JellyBaby100
September 20th, 2015 - 5:59pmPretty sure this is a few hundred years later. Just look at the way Julian Bleach plays it; that is not a man crippled by injury, but by age.

September 20th, 2015 - 9:18amWow, that was good !! For me, that was the best episode in years. I thoroughly enjoyed the brief prologue on Karn, beforehand, but found the Doctor’s Meditation everything I dislike in Doctor Who, mainly the terrible comedy, and this did put an air of trepidation in me, coming in to this episode. However, whilst I am still not a fan of the “comedy”, at least it was bad for a reason, and passable (Bill & Ted-esque – I thought, but it has been aeons since I have seen them, and the ‘Duuude’ was very Dude, Where’s My Car ? ) – Ha !! I also found U.N..I.T’s Doctor finder a tad convenient and wishy-washy. Two nit-picks, based on personal taste, certainly does not deflect away from how good I thought that was. Well acted, strong lead characters, well written, weight, gravity, drama – YES !! Best episode for years !!
Anonymous
September 20th, 2015 - 7:41pmDamn right, I agree ’47’ awesome episode, awesome characters, awesome way to bring back 2 awesome characters missy & davros, also I’m loving dalek sec, the supreme dalek, special weapons dalek & some classics along with 9th/10th doctor daleks, just awesome
Still Not Ginger
September 20th, 2015 - 8:43amIf the Daleks had destroyed the TARDIS, how did The Doctor get back to Davros to kill him?
CJ
September 20th, 2015 - 9:27amThat’s probably going to be explained in the next episode

September 20th, 2015 - 7:58amAnyone else think that Davros face looked a little different in the Magicians Apprentice??
MrHaloWho
September 20th, 2015 - 8:13amWell, it’s about 7 years since they used him in the show, they probably had to completely re-build the mask.
Doctor Stu
September 20th, 2015 - 11:06amAnd he’s old now and sick so it’s sort of fitting how the mask is more drained and thinner
Anonymous
September 20th, 2015 - 12:02pmThat’s true I prefer the new one anyway now lol
JellyBaby100
September 20th, 2015 - 6:03pmI think the new one is much better. In the classic series, Davros’ mask was so chunky and alien, but in Journey’s End it was very skintight and human (as human as Davros can be, anyway) Yes, I definitely prefer this new mask. The excellent lighting didn’t hurt either.
DOCTOR WHO ONE
September 20th, 2015 - 7:48amI knew I was right about Davros returning, but some of you was like “what makes you think that boy is him?” even thou I did explain it.
I’ve been feeling pretty smug about knowing I was right all along since that boy said his name was Davros. Seriously, you all should have seen let out a massive “YES !” when he said his name, and the funny dance I did after the episode in my bedroom 😀
Told ya so didn’t I 😉
MrHaloWho
September 20th, 2015 - 8:14amBut how did you know?
DOCTOR WHO ONE
September 20th, 2015 - 8:17amThat rumour from months back, plus the trailer for the episode, that’s how I knew 🙂
CJ
September 20th, 2015 - 9:34amLol! I have to admit, I did something similar 😀 as I too thought the kid was going to Davros! MrHaloWho, there was already rumours that we were going Davros as child
CJ
September 20th, 2015 - 9:34am*too see
WouldyoulikeaJellyBaby?
September 20th, 2015 - 10:22am@DOCTOR WHO ONE I knew as well I knew after hearing on a Doctor Who Forum that Davros had been taken out of The Doctor Who Experience and with the Rumours in the Mirror back in April about The Doctor killing a child (which I knew was young Davros). Its also the 40th Anniversary of Genesis of The Daleks this year so I also had my suspicions that he would be returning, even the hints in the Prologue such as in the Quote Ohila says to The Doctor “His servants seek you” “You’ve been fighting for years and particularly when she says “You owe that creature nothing.” When The Doctor said to Bors about visiting a “sick friend” I also knew it was Davros then and all that time and only me and my best friend knew and kept it secret from all our other friends. The feeling to be right about something as major as this also made us smug as well and when the boy said his name was Davros I clapped my hands really loudly and shouted “I knew it!” which bought a massive smile to my face!
cj
September 20th, 2015 - 11:36amDavros’s story has all ready been revealed in I Davros maybe there is more!?
collector
September 20th, 2015 - 2:08pmDoctor Who One, yes you were right about Davros’ return, but even though it is a good storyline, it was a bit of repeat appearance of an old character.
One thing i dont understand is that a lot of you wanted it to be him, yet when other fans have said they hope Maisie’s character is a returning person i.e River, Jenny, Susan or Romana, most of you have said “it should be a new character”. So you have all contradicted yourselves.
Davros is a old used character, but you are all happy to see him back again.
I for one hope that Maisie is an old character and that Moffat is lying about her being new.
SketchJr
September 20th, 2015 - 5:34pmI was actually scared and shocked when the boy said he was davros
Anonymous
September 20th, 2015 - 8:51pmAccidently airing a trailer for episode 2 does kind of make it a bit obvious, especially as it shows Davros was in the story.
Dalek the Supreme
September 20th, 2015 - 3:59amHonestly? I’m still collecting my thoughts on this one. I enjoyed seeing Davros, and I like how he was handled in this episode. Very in character, very subtle but dangerous. Julian Bleech’s performance is very much welcome. His descriptions of the Daleks are very in character for them, as are the angry lumps of hate.
The Doctor has mellowed out, and for the better, though the dilemma that may be causing him to take a dark turn was handled brilliantly.
Clara… feels a little obnoxious in this episode, but in fairness, that is in character, and she isn’t unbearably so. I admit I laughed a bit at his entrance into the arena.
Steven Moffat continues to prove to me that he has little to no understanding of the Master’s character. Trying to establish that the Doctor and the Master are friends after so many episodes establishing that the Master’s goal is to rule the universe and cause as much suffering to the Doctor in the process, you can’t just say that all their battles is because they’re friends playing with each other. That’s seriously out of character for the Doctor, no matter what the regeneration. I will admit that Missy feels a bit more like the Master in this episode, and there were moments where I thought I believed her as the Master.
The snake guy serving Davros did his job as a disposable minion. After the preview, I felt almost disappointed that Bors was just a Dalek puppet, because I really enjoyed his character.
The plot itself was a bit complicated, and I’m waiting until the next episode to see where it all goes. I have to admit that this was fairly good buildup, and it has me very interested in seeing how it’s all handled next episode.
Oh, and I don’t think anyone believes for a SECOND that Missy and Clara are actually dead.
Dalek the Supreme
September 20th, 2015 - 4:09amOh, and one more thing, do I NEED to explain how irritating it is that they don’t explain how Missy survived getting shot by Cybrigadier?
Zygon63
September 20th, 2015 - 8:55amThe Master has survived being killed countless times over the years and never provided a proper reason…
dan23uk
September 20th, 2015 - 11:49amI read somewhere once – “that you can’t have the doctor without the master Or The Master Without the doctor so as long as one of them is alive the other one will keep coming back”. I don’t know this is official.
Dalek the Supreme
September 20th, 2015 - 1:56pmTo Zygon63, that doesn’t make it right now.
To dan23uk, I’m not sure what that’s supposed to mean. The Doctor has gone through entire regenerations without encountering the Master.
