This historical is one of the really great episodes since the Doctor came back and it is indeed very right for this time and the subject of racism is some much alive today.
This series has finally started to work on all cilinders for me.
The positioning of the show is very clever, with a large audience waiting for the Strictly results. BUT, that isn't a good enough reason to keep me watching a Doctor who sounds like Peggy from Hi-De-Hi.
That is sort of where I am. I have only seen 'The Woman Who Fell To Earth' so far. I just don't feel that... pull to watch it. Even the last series, where I was growing increasingly restless as to where it was going, I still kept watching.
You have used a couple of 50minutes of your last 2 weekends wisely then Gentlemen,well done.
Personally I lost that amount.
I gave this tripe 3 episodes,that was a fair amount of time,but that's it now - OVER.
I'm with you on this, @barryt007. Done.
But they don't even have a PTS anymore until the theme starts up with credits,its just straight into the theme,which btw is bloody awful,along with everything else.
Jodie is a good actress but she is miscast here.
It will need some kind of re-boot after this.
They should have grabbed Joanna Lumley,Paterson Joseph or Rowan Atkinson when they had the chance a while ago !!
Just like it was in the old series, if you remember. The PTS is, after all, a recent adition to the series.
Me neither,tbh I don't mind Smith but the last great Doctor for me is Tennant.
Richard Ayoade or Stephen Mangan are excellent choices,perfect for the role !!
Makes a heck of a difference having it to not having it though.
Intrigued by the response here.......it seems very out of sync with the broad consensus that this series and new Doctor have been an unmitigated success.
I can't imagine the BBC cancelling Whittaker or Chibnal considering the success the show is currently having.
Personally, Moffat was always an over-indulgent and self-congratulatory writer. Peter Capaldi was given such duff material.
It is often an outspoken minority that keeps the negativity alive, but what can you do about it.
Last nights episode will undoubtedly be considered a political episode, I found it well chosen subject that is clearly something people do not want to hear about. Especially 2 female heroines in one show, that is really something scary for some people.
Last nights episodes had its flaws but was overal a very inspired episode that showed that the show does not need any monsters, something another female heroine by the name Ripley earlier also discovered.
I’ve seen an entertainment forum where many rated it as abysmal (although more rated it excellent).
Forget it, not going to happen. Chibnall will NEVER hold up his hands and admit he made a bad decision. Not when it is so much easier to blame the "sexist" fans for any dip in ratings.
It is the writing that I was always fearful about. We haven't had a decent villain, thus far, and some of the scripts have been clunky. Rosa was fine, but not the copper bottom classic that people are painting it as. It didn't really do anything that Quantum Leap didn't do in the 90s.
As always, the dust will settle, and by the end of the year we'll be in a position to make a much fairer judgement of the new Chibnall era.
I think this particular female Doctor is a mistake, but you can't say anything on the internet without being branded a sexist. The DW fandom twitter account has practically said that if you don't like the idea of a female Doctor then sling your hook.
So, what do you say if you feel the actress is wrong? Loved Michelle Gomez as Missy. Don't love JW as the Doctor. She isn't commanding enough. But she's here for a few years I guess.
I thought the other night's episode was better than the first two. Not subtle at all but it's a nice bit of education for the kids watching. I usually do like the more grounded episodes better than the proper sci fi ones anyway though. Think the show works better when it takes place in our world. But at the same time I think they might have gone too far in that direction. It all feels a bit bland and lifeless.
Oh well, maybe she'll grow in the part, but I doubt the writing will get any better.
I loved Capaldi and Clara. I am hopeful for Jodie. We simply have to see what the writing gives her coming up.
Great era of DW
It's pretty cool that this website from the episode Rose still exists...
