Critics Consensus

A fresh suit, new faces, and some exciting espionage are fun enough, but "Spyfall, Part 1's" final moments inspire hope for an absolutely epic new season of Doctor Who.

It was a stodgy episode of little importance, with Lenny Henry's baddy signalled as a baddy from the get-go and therefore not very interesting.

In a gluttonous attempt to court multiple fandoms, Spyfall was a smart James Bond pastiche.

B-

The Doctor is obviously shocked, but for the audience, it's not a particularly satisfying discovery... Still, it's fun to watch Dhawan flip the switch from mild-mannered alien enthusiast to preening intergalactic criminal.

5/5

Shocking revelations, great villains in The Master and the Cybermen and some nice dialogue to go with it. This two-parter was a triumph.

7/10

It's a fun, fast, edge-of-your-seat story, capturing the excitement that Who whipped up under the writing of Russell T Davies and (at his best) Steven Moffat.

An improvement over series 11, yes, but Chris Chibnall's Doctor Who still feels frustratingly anonymous in many ways.
