There are other writers involved, including Toby Whithouse and Mark Gatiss. I agree these changes will be needed.

As for Part 2, very much 'In a single bound, he was free…' writing.

Dave.

Ugh, these two parters. I really hope they throw me a curve, because I think I see where this is going.

My major issue with these two parters is the natural cliffhanger. Enough of it, already. It is so Pavlovian at this point, both the bell and the response.

We shall see, though.

My daughter, who is nine has taken to watching the first half of some episodes with us. She won me over for the opening shot, when we paused.

I had checked bbcamerica.com earlier in the day and recalled it had some sort of ghost/being hunted by ghosts theme. Off to bed with her.

No one was going to enjoy the episode with her watching.

I was correct, too.

Besides the cliffhanger I enjoyed it, though.

Part 2 different writer!
 

I liked it. It was nice.



I still dislike cliffhangers...

I enjoyed the episode, saw the resolution of the cliffhanger coming.

Looking forward to the return of River Song. The dynamic between that character and Capaldi's Doctor should be interesting.

Dave.

Eye boogers?
 

Weakest Capaldi episode by a mile, er kilometer.

I found portions okay, but easily the weakest episode of his run.

Not caught up quite yet, will lower expectations further - my sister found it laughable, but she is a cynic.

In other news: Tennant/Tate as Doctor 10/Donna returning in 3 audio episodes 2016.

Dave.

Oh my. Who knewthat eye boogers would be a sorbet of sorts to break up the heavy, weighty meal.
