The previous Doctors montage was total fan w**k indulgence but loved it! The doctors acknowledge that the whole thing happened as they mucked up the timeline but it’s ok to drop Gatiss off at a slightly different point in time?Īwesome recreation of the Tenth Planet, previously only seen in tele-snaps.Ĭan we stop the irritating Christmas musical cues please? Surely the Matrix is more powerful than the Dalek hive mind.

But of course Moffat can’t let a companion go…. Totally thought it would be Susan in the chamber.

Testimony can teleport anywhere in space and time but need a mechanical winch to pick up the Tardis? I recalled the episode ripping Hartnell to shreds but it handled the inappropriate social mores reasonably respectfully. The final story of Capaldi and of New Who before it…changed and it’s a multi-doctor one ! The interplay between one and twelve was delightful. And was that not actually Bill? Is Bill dead? I thought she was an alien ghost puddle person. Rating: 2.6/5 glass death-obsessed alien librarian things photocopying people, or something.

Did we really need the Clara cameo? (Really Marie, really?).

Every reference to the Brigadier just rubs salt into the wound that Nicolas Courtney wasn’t brought back for even a cameo before he died.

Though that would have made the 1996 TV Movie way better. None of the original Doctors could ‘refuse to regenerate’ and fart around for a final adventure. After the last episode of being a Cyberman punchbag, why is the Doctor not crawling around with massive internal bleeding.And where’s my invading Racnoss or Cyber King to hurl Quality Street wrappers at? Rusty’s cameo doesn’t count – and why does it eject it’s gun. It’s a wee bit unmemorable for a multi-Doctor regeneration story.

Some incredible writing with Twelve’s final speech.Gatiss and the Christmas Truce stuff was kind of nice.The politically incorrect First Doctor and Bill’s reactions.Yep, totes, yup, that’s right, if you haven’t already, do have a listen to the instant(ish) reaction review that Leon recorded with Flapjack shortly after this episode aired as well, for a fully rounded experience: B041 Twice Upon A Time – The 2017 Christmas Special WHOA! This is the second timewe’re reviewing this episode on Who Back When. And that’s actually a decent blurb to encapsulate this, the very last episode featuring Peter Capaldi as the Twelfth Doctor. Glass avatars from the distant future, you see, freeze time whenever literally any person anywhere is about to die, and in blatant disregard of GDPR regulations grab a copy of them to store in some sort of columbarium. Bill also happens to be there, trying to prove to Twelve she’s the real deal, as transparently as possible. It appears someone has frozen time and caused some sort of IT error that has placed all of it in jeopardy. Stumbling out onto the Antarctic snow while no one’s watching, just for drama, he encounters not-William-Hartnell, aka the other curmudgeonly grey-haired Doctor we know and love, himself also picturing Rassilon on a rainy day.Īnd Mark Gatiss as well, of course, because this is the end of the Doctor Who era in which you couldn’t swing a cat out of its timeline a split-second before it dies without hitting Mark Gatiss. In fact, he’s contemplating never regenerating again. Still doing his Timelord Kegels, The Twelfth Doctor is adamant he’ll hold back his regeneration mid-stream for at least one more episode.
