What did You Think of Series 10 Episode 1 The Pilot?
Now that the highly anticipated first episode of series 10 has been aired what did you think? Was it everything you had hoped for or not what you expected.

Bill’s mind is opened to a Universe that is bigger and more exciting than she could possibly have imagined – but who is the Doctor, and what is his secret mission with Nardole on Earth?
The Doctor is played by Peter Capaldi, Bill by Pearl Mackie and Nardole by Matt Lucas.

The decider
April 15th, 2017 - 11:00pmThat was intense, I thought that the water girl was either going to be a dalek agent or one of those martian water creatures from the waters of mars but then it ends up being something even creepier and mind blowing. Moffat had us all looking in the wrong direction, this time in a good way. The woman said EXTERMINATE so it was a clever piece of plot misinformation. This is one very creepy, charasmatic and trippy episode. This could mean doctor who is getting it’s grove back! I sincerely hope that the final episode “the doctor falls” actually means just that and not ends up being as silly as the season 7 finale “the name of the doctor” which skirted round the fact and bailed on the concept. Peter was regenerating in the trailer so I think we may be getting the real deal this time. Also, I hope john simms master kills off missy; she’s too annoying and too noisy to be a master. Stop changing character genders!

April 15th, 2017 - 10:57pmSo two questions…
What (or who) is in the vault ?
Is that the Doctor in the mirror in the photo of Bill’s mum ?

April 15th, 2017 - 9:57pmNow that was so worth the long wait. Peter capaldi was just brilliant and I love bill. I can’t wait for the rest of the series.

April 15th, 2017 - 9:45pmAs I predicted, Doctor Who is BACK! This series has had great vibes since the very first teasers!
The Dalek Whovian
April 15th, 2017 - 9:37pmAnd he has a goatee again

April 15th, 2017 - 9:33pmOh yes
Robert
April 15th, 2017 - 9:33pmI agree – I noticed a more traditional approach, a nice clear storyline with obvious menace and enough frightening moments to keep you watching. Hopefully this will maintained throughout the full series. Looks like it could the best so far 🙂

The Dalek Whovian
April 15th, 2017 - 9:24pmThis is the best Doctor Who episode I’ve seen in a while. It was just so fun. I feel like Doctor Who is Doctor Who again, and now everyone can enjoy it. New and Old fans because the series now has the perfect tone, has characters everyone can like and stories that have a more Sci-Fi feel. This series is going to be amazing

April 15th, 2017 - 9:06pmWonderful television! Peter Capaldi is at his very best here and Pearl Mackie is so charming and fantastic as Bill. I am now even sadder that Capaldi is leaving so soon. It feels like we are being denied one of the very best TARDIS teams ever.
Roll on next week!
Well done to everyone involved in tonight’s episode! Be very proud of yourselves!!

April 15th, 2017 - 9:03pmBetter without Clara, reasonable opener let’s see how it goes in the coming weeks?

April 15th, 2017 - 8:54pmIt was originally John Simm at the end of the trailer

April 15th, 2017 - 8:52pmWell it was definitely a new episode. Sets up a lot of the series ahead. The watery thing was quite tame which makes for a change – thought there was meant to be an exclusive spoiler though…
The Other
April 15th, 2017 - 8:50pmBrilliant! Bill and Nardole were enjoyable and the editing style was fresh and fun! Peter was of course fantastic! Overall this felt like it had a lot more time and effort put into it then some recent Stories.
Part Gollum Part Time Lord
April 15th, 2017 - 8:40pmYeah, it was fine to serve as a series opener to gain new audiences, felt nardole was unnecessary here though and some bits were slightly cringy. However, the rest of the series looks brilliant!
Mr. J
April 15th, 2017 - 8:36pmFresh, straight-forward, exciting and interesting throughout! Loved it! Just wanted it to be longer! Good performances all round! Keep it like this!

April 15th, 2017 - 8:36pmIt was a great episode but I found myself cringing everytime Nardole was in a scene. He has to be the worst companion ever in my opinion.

April 15th, 2017 - 8:31pmIt was actually really good.
Mr Schnibbley
April 15th, 2017 - 8:25pmSo much better without Clara

Thomas Meehan
April 15th, 2017 - 8:18pmI loved it! I haven’t enjoyed the show with Series 6, 7 & 9 but 10 will be an AMAZING series!
The Temporal Jelly Baby
April 15th, 2017 - 8:16pmThat was pretty good! It felt fresh and I’m really looking forward to seeing more of the Doctor, Bill and Nardole.
So…what’s in the vault?

April 15th, 2017 - 8:15pmA step in the right direction. Hope it continues!
Doctor Stu
April 15th, 2017 - 8:15pmI loved it, I haven’t enjoyed doctor who like for a long time, tiny cringes here and there at Nardole and ‘bye heather’ but it was very good overall.

April 15th, 2017 - 8:15pmIt was brilliant. I think the best in years from Moffat.
Mr sandman
