What did You Think of Twice Upon a Time?
Now that the 12th Doctors final episode has been aired what did you think? Was it everything you had hoped for or not what you expected.
The magical final chapter of the Twelfth Doctor’s (Peter Capaldi) journey sees the Time Lord team up with his former self, the first ever Doctor (David Bradley – Harry Potter, Game of Thrones) and a returning Bill Potts (Pearl Mackie), for one last adventure.
Two Doctors stranded in an Arctic snowscape, refusing to face regeneration. Enchanted glass people, stealing their victims from frozen time. And a World War One captain destined to die on the battlefield, but taken from the trenches to play his part in the Doctor’s story.
An uplifting new tale about the power of hope in humanity’s darkest hours, Twice Upon A Time marks the end of an era. But as the Doctor must face his past to decide his future, his journey is only just beginning…

December 25th, 2017 - 10:59pmWe need a writer that can actually write decent realistic characters like RTD, I can’t think of a piece of dialogue in this episode that sounded like something a normal person would say. Everything has to be so poetic and metaphorical and ‘quote’ worthy for some reason under moffat it’s tiresome
The Outcast
December 26th, 2017 - 12:20pmWell, apparently Chibnall is good at doing character stuff, so your wish might well have been granted.
Doctor Stu
December 26th, 2017 - 5:12pmI can’t wait, that’s why I loved RTD because his characters were so real, with families and lives that were not forgotten outside of whizzing around space

December 25th, 2017 - 10:48pmCan’t wait for Series 11!

December 25th, 2017 - 9:17pmSuch a amazing episode
Tom.
December 25th, 2017 - 11:56pmI had a suspicion that the Captain was related to the Brigadier. The change to a female doctor is needed, as the show needs a radical reboot both to liven it up and change the dynamics of the programme. A programme which has run for over 50 years, (although only been on screen for 37 years and has had 13 male actors in the lead role) needs to move withe times in order to stay fresh and appeal not just to Whovians like myself but cater also for the mainstream audience. If people do not like the idea of Change as that is what the whole regeneration idea is about and they dont agree with the choice of lead actor either male or female then they should decide if they want to watch it or not. ! I think Jodie Whittaker will be tremendous in the role of the Doctor. and a change of not only lead actor, and producer/ lead writer will move the programme in a more radical and different direction. Michelle Gomez was a hit as Missy the female version of the Master. Bring it on Jodie and Chibnall 🙂
T.A
December 27th, 2017 - 1:29amI know it’s sad Doctor who has to change its gender to stay with the times, hey do think we should also changes James Bond to stay with the times.
Pats86
December 27th, 2017 - 9:18amFunny you should say that T.A because Teresa May has actually spoken about the Doctor being female and she went on to say that Bond should be female now also?
This proves the point that many of the changes we see in popular culture is definitely are being forced, it is becoming the expected outcome.
What about a radical new way of thinking like creating all new female characters? A new female Time Lord, Bond like spy? Too much to ask I suppose, it would mean thinking about it.

December 25th, 2017 - 8:34pmMy third favourite Christmas episode after The Christmas invasion and Voyage of the damned.
The first Doctor had us all in stitches when he slowly opened the TARDIS doors and exclaimed he’d give Pearl a smacked bottom if she continued with language like that.
I loved the chemistry between the two doctors. And nice to see new Earth back! Would have been even better to have the a member of the cat-kind on the screen but that’s just me being a RTD era fan.
And I really thought it was Davros in that tower the way the Doctor was saying “you” rather than “it”.
A brilliant send off for Capaldi. Jodie had a very similar start to Matt Smith’s Doctor. TARDIS blowing up and falling out the TARDIS before the end credits rolled. obviously an excuse to get a brand new interior.
T.A
December 25th, 2017 - 8:30pmWhat did everyone think of the first doctor?
booboo
December 25th, 2017 - 8:34pmpersonally i am not a fan of other Actors playing original actors (simply because i dont think a new generation should grow up thinking David Bradley is the 1st Doctor – he isn’t)
having said that he did a fine job and the episode was the better for it, overall enjoyed it but a lot of missed opportunities in this one.
Simon W
December 25th, 2017 - 8:46pmI loved them using original surviving clip of the first ever regen that was good to see.
THE ERGON
December 25th, 2017 - 9:13pmI felt he slightly outshone capaldi and it felt wrong to want more of him especially given this was capaldis final story and that monologueat the end felt overstretched even more so than matt smiths. No he never will be William Hartnell but as a replacement i couldn,t imagine a finer actor than david Bradley.
THE ERGON
December 25th, 2017 - 9:16pmAlso any generation that grows up with the history would Know Hartnell is the original in the same way they knew Hurndall wasn,t.
the master
December 25th, 2017 - 9:32pmI think most of this generation only concentrate on the last 12 years and many of those on a casual basis , its only the core fan base that acknowledges its complete history
Whovastron
December 25th, 2017 - 9:39pmThe sexism was so disrespectful to Hartnell, his character was nothing as ridiculous as that. I’m not saying there wasn’t sexism back then, but my god this was ridiculous
THE ERGON
December 25th, 2017 - 9:54pmBut they know’ whos who’ surely as far as actors who have played what even on a casual basis. I would have thought the younger audience and new fans want to know more about its history.
booboo
December 25th, 2017 - 10:17pmcore fans yes, but the vast majority of viewers and not core fans, they are just viewers.
at the moment the younger audience are not that interested, that’s pretty obvious from the total absence of Doctor Who merchandise in the high street and toy shops these days.
T.A
December 25th, 2017 - 10:01pmI never remembered the first doctor being old fashioned, when I watched his episodes.
Galactic yo yo
December 25th, 2017 - 10:10pmI’m glad they had a little reference to the fact he was being played by a different actor.
The Outcast
December 26th, 2017 - 1:38amI though the 1st Doctor’s protrayal was alright, bar the sexist gags. The first sexist gag was explainable for me and I would have been fine with that being the only one…
But then we got the women are made of glass one. Dear god, that was an utter disgrace. The 1st Doctor would never have said that in a million years.
I’m going to explain this away as the 1st Doctor saying sexist stuff to annoy 12, I think that is the only way I can possibly ignore this utter stupidity.
The Outcast
December 26th, 2017 - 1:44amUmm, I think my comment talking about 1’s Chauvinism in this episode was removed.
THE ERGON
December 26th, 2017 - 12:32pmMaybe not the !st doctor but dear william Hartnell might have made a few gaffes.
Tyler Prescott
December 26th, 2017 - 4:39pmI think his acting works well, but his voice is conveyed so differently to Hartnell’s he doesn’t sound much like him.
Simon W
December 25th, 2017 - 8:28pmBooboo did u recognise that the lady playing Bill’s foster Mum also played Valerie in Gridlock Brannigans wife that was Jennifer Hennessy
booboo
December 25th, 2017 - 8:28pmshe looked familiar
Brendan
December 25th, 2017 - 8:20pmA brilliant episode, best Christmas special ever. Not one for the casual viewer but as a fan for 40 years i thoroughly enjoyed it & reminded me why i love this program so much. Particularly happy not to have too much Christmas “cheesy” bits in it, i thought the acting was superb. As with any new doctor i am excited & nervous at the same time, which is what makes its special. I am sorry for those that looked forward to it but didn’t enjoy, i suppose writing a Christmas special is very difficult knowing you need festive bits in it as well as wanting the casual fan to enjoy but contain enough for the seasoned fan. Sometimes i feel having a regeneration scene in the special is asking rather a lot of the writers. In terms of opinions all should be respected, good or bad, these opinions show how passionate we are & hopefully some of the posters on here will in time write for the show & ensure a long future.
Doctor Stu
December 25th, 2017 - 7:56pmThe last ten minutes were good I suppose if you took away Nardole, I liked the monster but that plot just stopped very suddenly, Bill wasn’t acting very well considering her standard in some of the episodes in series 10. Good twist with Rusty but I called it as soon as it showed the Dalek mutants running around. It was hardly a spectacular epsiode and the regeneration speech went on far too long and then made me cringe a bit when he started going on about his name and children so didn’t really evoke any emotion from me. But it was nice to hear some familiar music again but it was by no means for me the best Christmas episode it would be fairly near the bottom for me. capaldi deserved something with a little more substance for his final episode I feel moffatt used the extended run time to over stretch his existing scenes rather than actually advance the plot as it all seemed so slow. But at last moffatt has gone so Kaye Chris can bring the sparkle back for me
T.A
December 25th, 2017 - 7:58pmI think it would have been better if 12 regenerated at the end of the Doctor falls.
Doctor Stu
December 25th, 2017 - 8:02pmI’ve still not got a clue why they had a mondasian cybermen episode finale for series 10 and did nothing with it for the Christmas special. I’d have had the ship from The Doctor falls bring the cybermen over to the South Pole and made this Christmas special into a cybermen episode with the first doctor instead of what we actually got.
Tim M
December 25th, 2017 - 8:03pmI think that was the original plan. But as Chibnall didn’t want his first story to be the Christmas Special, Moffat remained and Capaldi agreed to do one more story out of contract. If Capaldi had said no, then they wouldn’t have been a Christmas Special this year.
T.A
December 25th, 2017 - 8:05pmThe mondasian cybermen are peters favourite DW villain, and people have been wanting the mondasian cybermen back so Moffat a good thing and brought them back, even if he did not use them to their full potential.
Tim M
December 25th, 2017 - 8:13pmI’m surprised they didn’t bring back Carole Ann Ford as Susan. As that was also on Capaldi’s wish list along with the Mondasian Cybermen. Missed opportunity there. With the First Doctor in ‘Twice Upon A Time’ , it would have been an ideal moment for Carole to have made a cameo appearance as an older Susan.
booboo
December 25th, 2017 - 8:17pmWould have been the ideal time, if not they could actually have bought back anyone from the distant past as a “real surprise”
I also thought we were going to get a “city on the edge of forever” moment with the Brigadiers father
Silence will still fall
December 25th, 2017 - 7:55pmI do find it quite humorous that once the regeneration episode is over people say they’re never watching again, then jump on the bandwagon when the actor nails the part as every one has.
Doctor Stu
December 25th, 2017 - 7:59pmI watched the end of time yesterday, (one of my favorite Christmas specials) and when he regenerated into 11 I remembered the first time I watched it and thinking how I immediately disliked Matt Smith, with Tens clothes on he didn’t look like the doctor and his stupid geromino catchphrase made me cringe but then he had his time as the doctor and I grew to love him, and then the same with Capaldi (10 is still the best by miles for me). So it’s not fair at all to not give Jodie a chance to shine
Silence will still fall
December 25th, 2017 - 8:11pmIts one of my favorites too. I actually love Matt’s entrance and the Geronimo catchphrase too. Possibly my favorite entrance of a new doctor.
I’m sure she’ll be amazing and like every other doctor people will see it
Tim M
December 25th, 2017 - 7:50pmReally enjoyed that. The Christmas Special is normally fairly light weight at the best of times, but I felt this one, whilst still light on plot, contained the right balance of mystery, humour and drama. Top marks to David Bradley for successfully re-creating the First Doctor. One hopes his performance will encourage newer fans to check out some of the First Doctor classic stories. Capaldi was superb too. However, whilst I would give this story 10/10, I do feel it was made purely for fans, and rather alienated many general viewers. Doctor Who under Chris Chibnall must dispense with much nostalgia and continuity, and go forwards. It’s clearly been a series going into itself and own mythology in recent years. It’s reminiscent of the mid 1980’s, and the show didn’t last long after that.
Simon W
December 25th, 2017 - 7:46pmOw come on ppl I wish you lot that have already given up on the show and saying its dead to you. I wish you’d give the new 13th Doctor a chance she might make you change your mind. I know a true fan will watch the show even if there was still a man in charge. Ppl have excepted there being a gay character in the show why can’t you except there being a woman in the lead. I know I’m a fan and I shell be watching even if they change the lead to a LGBT character in the lead. Dr Who is a show I love and I will always watch it.
Pats86
December 25th, 2017 - 7:53pmTrue fan? Who are you to suggest we are not true fans.
booboo
December 25th, 2017 - 8:06pmtrue fan never works for me, you can still be selective
my mind goes back to My Hero, same show, same characters but a change in lead actor that for me made it un-watchable
T.A
December 25th, 2017 - 7:56pmThe true fans are the ones the bbc don’t care about. The bbc are pandering to a new audience. It started in series 9 through ten and I hope they stop but it doesn’t look likely.
Pats86
December 25th, 2017 - 8:05pmYou are probably correct T.A and that is a shame
Simon W
December 25th, 2017 - 8:07pmPats86. I don’t mean you there are ppl on here that have given up on the show just because there is a Time Lady in charge now. all I’m saying is if they give her a chance. And I do respect your opinions. Its the ppl that says the show is dead to them that gets me. True fans know and love the show no matter what happens. As the Doctor once said Time and Tide wait for no man. I hope u will forgive for saying that.
booboo
December 25th, 2017 - 8:11pmdespite what people say they will give a chance, i’m sure of that, what happens next, well time will tell.
Simon W
December 25th, 2017 - 8:09pmBooboo I remember that show Thurmo man was played by Ardal O’Hanlan I thought it was funny he then played Brannigan in Gridlock.
booboo
December 25th, 2017 - 8:15pmthat’s right, also taking over in death in paradise which i’m looking forward to, think that’s why many though Kris Marshall would be Dr 13
James Dreyfus too over in series 6 or My Hero and in bottomed
T.A
December 25th, 2017 - 8:10pmHonestly, I don’t care if it is man or women, the thing that gets me upset is if they change the show into a pc agenda show.
Pats86
December 25th, 2017 - 8:21pmSimon W, I was absolutely gutted that Jodie had been cast as the Doctor, I was ready to quit there and then but as a life long fan I will give Jodie a go at the very least. I know I will struggle and may end up not being able to continue watching.
I fully understand why some will give up right now and respect their decision. 50 years of established lore wiped out by Moffat, Chibnall and the BBC and alienating many long time fans, splitting the fan base too. The whole thing absolutely stinks and they should be ashamed of themselves.
Teresa May this week has said she would like to see James Bond be female? The world has gone mad!
Silence will still fall
December 25th, 2017 - 7:45pmEpisode was really good. For me the biggest tear jearker scenes were when we found out the captain was the brigadier’s grandfather which was a stunning twist and actually the regeneration of the first doctor into troughton.
The regeneration I thought was nicely done and the ring falling off her finger was good and remimicint of matt taking his bow tie off. The POV camera I absolutely loved and the ideas that we’re seeing things through the first female doctors eyes was powerful. My only niggle of the regeneration was the tardis is crashing for the 3rd straight time following regeneration. Really hope we see a lot of the POV camera angle in the new series.
Noticed no funny moments or tomfoolery following the change which is an interesting change, maybe a more serious Doctor although trust the doctor to press the button that’d cause chaos lol…
Tardis dematerialized while on fire so the survival of the fall Look’s obvious that it’ll rematerialize around her before she hits the ground.
Imagine however if she did die and was brought back to life temporarily to force another regeneration. My god that would be a twist but 100% unlikely.
Simon W
December 25th, 2017 - 7:46pmI loved them using original surviving footage for that regen.
Silence will still fall
December 25th, 2017 - 7:51pmIt nearly brought me to tears. It was incredibly moving and powerful.
Anonymous
December 25th, 2017 - 7:38pmI find it odd that nearly 75% of the votes above are positive and yet when you read the comments most are negative and some are just unpleasant rants! Rather a skewed site. I loved it. Who will continue as it ever has. To those who are rabidly upset about a female doctor, either don’t watch or just get over it. I fully intend to enjoy the show as i always have.
Pats86
December 25th, 2017 - 7:40pmYou mean some of us are standing up and voicing our opinion? I am sure the BBC would love to shut us up but it ain’t going to happen.
Who rules
December 25th, 2017 - 7:45pmQuite agree, i try not to read the comments as it upsets me greatly. I’ve watched this show for 42 years now and i still love it. Jody will be great. It is very disturbing to hear some fans talk as they do. It actually makes me ashamed to be a who fan. I won’t look at any other comments relating to my post as I’ve been deeply upset by what some have said before about other posts. As this is in favour of jody and critical of the vocal haters i don’t expect this comment to stay on. In an aside to boo boo i do wish you would remove some of the very negative comments that certain posters seem to be able to post with impunity.
booboo
December 25th, 2017 - 7:57pmnot removing any of them as people have the right to their opinions as long as they stick to the rules.
we only remove stuff that crosses lines (and nothing has been removed so far)
If negativity upsets. with respect don’t go anywhere near social media.
Anonymous
December 25th, 2017 - 7:47pmAnd pats86 proves my point… just because you don’t approve doesn’t mean the 75% who do are wrong!
booboo
December 25th, 2017 - 7:51pmnot really we are not a forum and only about 1 in every 100 visitors leaves a comment
I have always found the “nay sayers” are by far the more vocal group
I also see that those who have difficulty in excepting change are pounced upon rather aggressively from those who don’t
Changing 50 years of history does not come easy to some people.

The Dalek Whovian
December 25th, 2017 - 7:37pmThis story had great acting, special effects and music, and David Bradly did an amazing performance as the First Doctor. But in my opinion, the scenes where he was being sexist felt very cringey and mostly out of character.
The Outcast
December 26th, 2017 - 1:53amYeah, they really did. Especially the “women made of glass” one. The 1st Doctor would never say that, lest of course, he be written by Moffat or someone who thinks he was a rampant sexist.
D0CT0R WH0
December 25th, 2017 - 7:36pmEven the Tardis doesn’t like the new doctor. It only decided to throw her off!

December 25th, 2017 - 7:41pmHaha, I thought that.
whovian
December 25th, 2017 - 7:26pmThe same show as you Pats86. What you think is ur opinion. Those of us understand the show is always changing will understand and continue to watch. I admit that I felt strongly against a woman Doctor, but then I changed my opinion, it’s not about political correctness, I just feel its not justified to to judge someone without at least giving the said person a fair chance.
I’m very glad that Moffat is now no longer head writer as he just didn’t seem to put his all into it. Now these are My own opinions and I’d like you to at least respect them, even if you don’t agree.
whovian
December 25th, 2017 - 7:29pmThis was supposed to be under the comment on the first post
Pats86
December 25th, 2017 - 7:33pmI was only asking, and you can’t have 13 out of ten, it is mathematically impossible. Anyway I’m happy you can watch such drivel and actually enjoy it, I can’t.
Pats86
December 25th, 2017 - 7:35pmAnd I do respect your opinion.

December 25th, 2017 - 7:38pmT.A
December 25th, 2017 - 7:51pmWhovian if you look at Chris Chibnalls work you would be just as worried like some of the long time fans are. The bbc are pandering to the fans who are about political correctness, and Chris has not said much about the next season in detail, this is why a lot of fans are leaving or don’t have much faith in the next year of doctor who.
whovian
December 25th, 2017 - 11:09pmFrom the episodes that Chris has written, I enjoyed most of them. and regarding the Doctor, it’s like The Moment said, same man, different face, but obviously it’s the same character, just a different gender. And the change from Capaldi to Whittaker was flawless to me.
T.A
December 26th, 2017 - 10:24pmI meant in other shows, and chibnalls episodes are normally in the bottom of most people’s season episode ranking and is it just me that it’s werid he is now shown runner, even though his last episode was in 2012.
The Original Time Lord
December 25th, 2017 - 7:14pmits the end of an era in more ways than one. Love the idea that this new Doctor is an imposter. I’m done, I won’t be watching anymore, it’s got too siilly under Moffat and looks like it’ll just be the same under Chibnall with the desperate casting attempts to make it relevant.

December 25th, 2017 - 7:12pmThe First Doctor was a delight.
Tim M
December 25th, 2017 - 8:07pmDavid Bradley and William Hartnell are both a delight as the criminally underrated First Doctor. Hey, even Richard Hurndall in ‘The Five Doctors’ is a delightful First Doctor too.
Doctor mod
December 25th, 2017 - 7:01pmRIP Doctor Who. The doctor should have died at the end of Matt Smith run, since then it’s complete rubbish, including this episode. Sorry BBC, I gave it a chance, but that’s it for me.

Doctor mod
December 25th, 2017 - 8:58pmThank you pats86 and dannythenerd and booboo for letting me having my own opinion. I have to say I am a life long fan, earliest memory is of the tom Baker years. Watched throughout the up and downs, ( twin dilemma, one example) but just recently its hasn’t been good, so I feel its not for me anymore, but am still a fan of what has been before.
Pats86
December 25th, 2017 - 6:57pmDidn’t expect much and in true Moffat style didn’t get much either. Capaldi deserves so much credit for making this just about watchable, called the Lethbridge-Stewart connection after less than a minute, David Bradley did a decent job mind, and the odd amusing joke helped the pain of this poor send off for the great Capaldi.
Felt rather sad to see Jodie at the end, it just doesn’t feel right at all.
Might be a good idea to let the Doctor fall to her death now and draw a line under thus once great show.
Will watch again tomorrow and see how it all feels once it has really sunk in.
Pats86
December 25th, 2017 - 7:04pmInteresting that she only pressed one button and the TARDIS tried to kick her out, and succeed lol
Kev
December 25th, 2017 - 7:05pmAgreed
T.A
December 25th, 2017 - 8:08pmI honestly don’t know know how she going to survive that fall, regeneration energy can help you buy only to and extent.
Galactic yo yo
December 25th, 2017 - 10:14pmShe’s still within 15 hours of her regeneration, so she’s basically indestructible.
The Moffat Paradox
December 26th, 2017 - 12:28amLOL.Female Timelord drivers.
The Outcast
December 26th, 2017 - 2:00amIndestructible like the TARDIS is indestructible? Post-Regeneration energy might help, but I doubt it would save 13 if she ends up hitting the ground from such a high speed. Hell, I wonder if the Doctor would even be able to Regeneration from that high a fall. Well, 13 better hope her past self stored a Jet-pack in one of his coat’s pockets.
Dan23
December 25th, 2017 - 6:39pmI need to see the regeneration scene again & zoom in on the computer console in the TARDIS it had something written on it but i don’t know if it’s important or not. Also they probably did all that damage to Tardis at the end so they could redesign it .
THE ERGON
December 25th, 2017 - 6:45pma total reboot of everything including opening credits. Here we go again.
whovian
December 25th, 2017 - 6:49pmDan23 the writing on the screen after she changed reads “Systems crisis. Multiple Operations Failures” just before she gets thrown to the floor. Thought I’d save you the trouble.

December 25th, 2017 - 6:51pmBefore, I watched this episode I thought the Tardis would get destroyed in a better way, like David’s.

December 25th, 2017 - 6:53pmT.A, in fairness, a part of the console was ripped apart, and the Cloister Bell was chiming.

December 25th, 2017 - 6:54pmThay put the end scene on YouTube also.
Pats86
December 25th, 2017 - 6:59pmThe Cloister bell is ringing because it knows an alternate imposter Doctor is here!
T.A
December 25th, 2017 - 7:45pmWe saw the tardis getting destroyed for like three seconds, at least with David’s you saw the damage.
THE ERGON
December 25th, 2017 - 6:36pmDid she say heartburn? if so odd choice of word. The final half hour was padded. had some amusing moments playing with the Un PC doctor but i was expecting something a little more dramatic and heroic. Good fun though.
whovian
December 25th, 2017 - 6:37pmThe Doctor said oh brilliant after she had regenerated

December 25th, 2017 - 6:43pmI must have misheard. I thought it might have been another unnecessary catchphrase. and No coming soon trailer. Oh well.

December 25th, 2017 - 6:34pmThat was just awful. Terrible witting, directions, effects. Every other line was just awful fan service. Interesting cliffhanger though

December 25th, 2017 - 6:36pmI agree the story at points was boring, but I enjoyed about 45% percent of it.

December 25th, 2017 - 9:20pmAnd that interesting cliffhanger might just be enough for you to come back.

December 26th, 2017 - 2:50pmIn my opinion they need to stop destroying the tardis because of the Doctor, it worked with Tennant to Matt, because that was the first time it happened, but know it’s just silly.

December 25th, 2017 - 6:34pmReally great story i thought, nice send off
T.A
December 25th, 2017 - 6:32pmGood story, bit boring at some points and the first dr who was at some points not done good, like then ending bit with all the compaions, not my favourite regeneration scene but all around a good regeneration story.
The Outcast
December 26th, 2017 - 1:54amWhy do my comments about 1 and his out of character _____ lines get deleted? Is the 6 letter word beginning with s a trigger word for the auto delete?

December 25th, 2017 - 6:30pmWas great,till the last 2 mins,rip dr who.

December 26th, 2017 - 7:02pmI feel the same, but not for the same reason. I have no issue whatsoever with Jodie Whittaker, or a female Doctor, but that scene just felt rushed and cheap. The FX weren’t great, and the whole crashing thing seemed to be shoehorned in, just because most previous Doctors have crashed their TARDISes after regenerating.
Weeping Angel
December 25th, 2017 - 6:30pmIt was quite good – I enjoyed it! Shame Jodie only said two words at the end though but great story!
TARDIS H
December 25th, 2017 - 6:30pmWhere was Ben and Polly?!!?!

December 25th, 2017 - 6:35pmAt the Beginning we saw them releasing the doctor from the Cybermen ship.
TARDIS H
December 25th, 2017 - 6:37pmOh thanks. I must have missed it!
THE ERGON
December 25th, 2017 - 6:48pmI did think we might have got the sequence with them banging on the doors again. they spared us of that.
Tyler Prescott
December 26th, 2017 - 6:59pmI would have also liked to have seen the First Doctor fall over or something. It seemed a little odd for him to be standing up, then when the camera returns, he is lying down, with out any sort of collapse.

December 25th, 2017 - 6:36pmAnd although the Doctor said nearly nothing in her new form, I can’t wait to see what happens next. Welcome to Doctor Who, Jodie Whittaker. One of the BEST stories in a while. Great to see Clara as a cameo, giving back the Doctor’s memories of her. And the Christmas Truce had me in tears, including the fact that the Captain was Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart’s relative.
Moffat FINALLY gave us a good story, just as he steps down. I am still a Whovian.

December 25th, 2017 - 6:42pmAnd I am happy to say that I was proved wrong about Jodie being a red herring. I connected with her as the Doctor instantly and was shouting at the TV “hold on Doctor” as she was being sucked from the TARDIS.
