So this is it, the big day. Always comes round way too soon for my liking, even more so this year with the shorter run. Many questions are yet to be answered: How did the Master become Missy? Can Danny return from 'death'? Just how is Clara connected to Missy and will she depart tonight? All coming up at 8:00pm.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊

They need to do a Dr who/ in the loop Calpaldi mash up. That'll actually make this show watchable.

Really touching gesture here from Peter Capaldi: http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2014...ming-video-message-to-grieving-9-year-old-boy

He's been writing good Doctor Who since 2004! Of all his contributions to the show; 'Blink' can stand tall as one of the best episodes the show has ever produced, classic and revived series.

No, I'm not crying. It's just really dusty in here.

Scary Poppins or 'Missy' is a total abomination.
Moffat out, Sami out, Brighton's staying up!

True, but imo he hasn't written any decent episodes since he took over as showrunner. I do hope Mr Pink isn't coming back though tonight and, surprising as it is to hear myself say it, I kind of hope Clara is leaving too (or at least becoming less regular). I could do without the Madame Vastra gang turning up either, though I fear I may be disappointed. And they have a lot of explaining to do about the Master also.

Really?! I can think of plenty of good ones and the Day of the Doctor he wrote for the 50th was absolutely superb.

I'm going to watch tonight more in hope rather than expectation. I have seen most of the episodes and overall they have been pretty poor. About the only one which had any empathy with was "Into The Dalek " which was an 8/10. I was unsure about Capaldi in the role right from the start and he has done nothing to change that. It's sad as I love the programme and I want to like him but I am struggling, when Matt Smith used to run around panicking in a flap it looked in character, when Capaldi does it he looks like Jasper Carrott in a stupid wig.
This episode needs to be very good to keep me on the hook.

Not seen an episode for 20 odd years, but it's on my TV now. Who is it aimed at? I mean when I was a kid I think it was on at 6:30 or something, surely no adult is watching this because they want to? Looks bloody ridiculous program. Just sent my kids to bed half way through they didn't even moan. They develop an infatuation with the One Show midweek when I send them to bed.

Sorry yes I forgot Day of The Doctor which was above average and had Tom. But apart from that the only writers whose episodes I've really enjoyed since SM took over were Robin Curtis and Neil Gaiman.
As for tonight's - best of the series but still not great. Not convinced Missy was actually the Master either, can't see them throwing a character away like that.
Good to see Nick Frost though

Found this series all a bit meh tbh. I'm disappointed.

Apart from the 2012 Xmas episode, they're largely cheesy.
Anyway, thought it was a muddled episode, but a few nice touches here and there. I like Capaldi...not as much as I liked Smith, but he's still good.
As for Moffat. He's written some shite, but some great stories too. Funnily enough the best episode of his tenure was 'Vincent & The Doctor' from Series 5. Written by Richard Curtis, I believe.
