B+

I had hoped that "Demons Of The Punjab" would bring a more decisively different energy to the season. But while the episode's subject matter is new, its structure feels disappointingly familiar.

A massive round of applause to the production team and director Jamie Childs for delivering something so engaging and adult and educational.

"Demons of the Punjab" is either the first or second best episode of the season so far - it's rooted in history like "Rosa", but without the bland alien threat.

The sci-fi elements if anything detract from what was an interesting and dramatic story of this rarely-touched-upon time in history...
