This is the introductory episode Capaldi should have had at the beginning of his tenure. We're introduced to various aspects of his Doctor's character, he gets to lay down his manifesto as does the new companion.
Mackie is real find. The characterisation of Bill is a bit uneven to start with, but lovely, sweet and real by the end. I hope she stays that way. A bit thin plot wise, but a better creepier reboot than Rose. Hopefully, we've done the obligatory Dalek bit now. I rather like Nardole as well. He's obviously the reassuring comic relief for the little 'uns.
What a shame it looks like coming together in Capaldi's last season. A very good for me. You may never like Moffat's work, but you can't fault him for keep trying new ways to make the show better.
