cybersontaran As much as I love peter Capaldi as the doctor, this was not the right send off for him. I honestly think that it would have been better to see him regenerate in the doctor falls. As it was a much better send off for him. But no, Steven Moffat has to go rub his grubby hands all over the wonderful ending he had for us, all just because he didn't want to lose the Christmas special slot on telly. Thanks a lot Steven.I'm not really sure where to start. I could start with the offensive characterisation of the first doctor, or the amount of fan service he tried to stuff into it. There was so much thrown at our faces and it's hard to understand any of it. Especially if your a casual viewer. To a casual viewer it would pretty much be a bit like this. So there's these glass people and they have frozen time or something, and then the doctor visits a dalek called rusty that I had never seen before and so the doctor goes back in time even though it's frozen and saves this guy called Stewart that fought in a war or something and now that bill girl is glass, or is she? Also, Bill. WTF Moffat why?!?! Why bring her back? She had a perfectly good ending in the doctor falls!!!!! And now all the focus is on her and wether she is glass or real when should be on the plot. OH WAIT! THERE IS NO PLOT!! There is literally no plot! I could go on about how the first doctor is written like a sexist when he's really not. This makes the doctor look like a bad person (bye bye half the audience). But I think I'm gonna stop here. The only good scene was the regeneration. Dam that was good. So I give it 4/10. The four was for the amazing performances by all the actors and the amazing regeneration scene that makes me cry and then scream with glee.

samuel-lewis12 It was the end of an era for doctor who, other than a new doctor it's was the end of Steven Moffat and the end of doctor who as we know it. I was expecting it to go out on a bang, but it didn't, the first doctor was a stupid mistake and a complete mockery of hartnells doctor. Since when was the first doctor sexist and the twelve doctor pc gone mad (apparently women can't clean anymore). Other than that I thought that this episode had a boring plot, poor cgi and just a terrible episode. It would have been so much better if davros was behind the plan instead of rusty, no one really liked that episode and most regular non fan viewers will have forgotten about the episode so wouldn't have a clue what's going on! The music was recycled the twelve doctor wasn't the one I knew and was just there to suddenly talk about feminism which he hasn't really talked about before but as it's a female doctors first episode, you have too. Bills character also felt pointless and ruined her departure from The Doctor Falls. Clara's cameo could have been executed better and a montage of there travels would have improved the scene even more, I would not recommend this episode to anyone.

jc-osms Well we all knew how this one was going to end so it was really just a case of how also departing writer and show-runner Steven Moffat would get us there that mattered. In so doing he found a nice juicy part for his sometime collaborator Mark Gatiss with character whose identity I guessed long before the end and a story which saw us encounter the Doctor's first incarnation, plus the reincarnations, or so it seemed of Bill Potts and more briefly Nardini and more welcomely, Jenna Coleman as Clara. There was a mysterious presence going by the name of Testimony, a glass-formed creature which handily gathers and retains the memories of individuals on the verge of death, a meet-up with a reformed Dalek and of course at the climax, the at last welcome regeneration into new doc, Jodie Whittaker.For once then the doctor wasn't pitted against some galaxy threatening do-badder, although I felt the lack of any sense of danger, coupled with the inevitability of the outcome, rather took some of the edge off the episode. The commemoration of the Christmas 2014 World War 1 Armistice (remembering this episode was this year's Christmas Special), was apt and tastefully rendered. Perhaps more could have been done in the interaction between the two Doctors, although the old doc's antiquated sexist outlook couldn't have been more accidentally topical if it tried.I'll certainly miss Capaldi's waspish humour and yes, his Scottishness, but with a new writing team as well as the first ever female doctor the next season will be intriguing to say the least.I wish Ms Whittaker well in the part and will be keenly anticipating the new doctor's new adventures in the coming year.

Chris DonnieDarko Jee The usual fun. The usual amazing acting from Capaldi. The main issue was that it was trying so HARD not to be discrimate towards women. It was so cringey and in your face. I don't see me liking the new direction with a female doctor. It just don't feel right. I will certainly give it a chance but who knows. All in all a solid episode but kind of a nothing episode as it was all rather meaningless....?
