The filmmaking here is some of the most gorgeous we've yet seen on Doctor Who.

This episode was gold dust for fans of Moffat's fanbait mysteries, which, I uncharitably feel, are beginning to take on a slightly mechanistic air, like the scriptwriter equivalent of search-engine optimisation.

A+

As we all reel back from the last episode, you could forgive the writers for giving us a more subdued episode. Instead, they pull all the stops out, giving Peter Capaldi a one-man show that changes everything we thought we knew about the Doctor.

The Doctor was completely on his own this week, and the results were positively chilling. And important. Safe to say, we've been building up to this episode for a long time.

[Moffat] managed to write and produce possibly the most ambitious episode in Doctor Who history.
