I'm glad gatiss is back as a writer I generally enjoy his episodes and sleep no more is one of my favourite rewatch.

Hopefully she kills him, ideally screaming "you ruined season three" whilst she bludgeons him with some form of heavier-than-it-looks stick.
 
Great as he was, whenever I think of the Simms Master I think of this image:

Oh that will more than do. Way more than do. She's great. The tardis interior is great. The monster of the week was that perfect thing of making the ordinary terrifying. Loved that thing of the docs ' I won't do this again' but he has to because of his tragic love affair with earth and its interesting inhabitants. And newbie got some solid gold lols in. Even lucas made me laugh once. Plus time war!

watched on new projector which came with a suspiciously large discount from someone who clearly isn't an authorised epson salesman

colours so rich it was bleeding my eyeballs out. That shot of the Tardis on the far future world with its bright blue against those rich tans. omg

Although, my current mood (anticipation at hearing positive rumours) is as close to happy as I can ever get with Moffat era Who, so maybe I should leave well alone.
 
Just watched it on iplayer.

Thought it was fucking excellent (that might be the wine speaking though).

I LOVE Bill. She's great. The whole episode seemed really well put together. It flowed nicely. It felt more cohesive than some from the past couple of seasons. I'm an episode in and Bill is already on target to be one of my favourite companions, if not my absolute favourite (sorry Donna). Even Matt Lucas wasn't too objectionable.
 
Really good start to the series with a nice simple introduction episode, loved the Doctor's study and liked pearl mackie and bill straight away, Matt Lucas fits comfortably into the tardis, the nine year old granddaughter really enjoyed it and found it creepy enough to hide behind a cushion more than once (and I do love that Dr Who is still doing that for kids so long after the first episode) and she liked bill which is a good sign as she was very fond of clara and wasnt sure about a new companion.a definite thumbs-up all round in my house on the first episode.
 
Most of the outside scenes were filmed at the Bioscience and Chemistry buildings of Cardiff university.

For some reason they tried to make out it was St Luke's University Bristol.

Why didn't they just say it was Cardiff? No reason it couldn't have all taken place in Cardiff.

Apart from the fact that its the only place that Dr Who ever goes!

Well yeah. Everyone in the office used to get excited and watch them filming out the window... at first.

Then it was ffs are they hogging all the parking and forcing us to walk detours again. Bloody Doctor Who.

But this time the story is that it's a university so why not just go with it being the one they're actually using.

Perhaps it because if it had Cardiff he would have had to avoid captain jack and torchwood for fifty years.
 
Caught up now, and hell, yes. A proper good start to the series. Bill is great. Nice to see a companion flirting with someone other than the Doctor.

And two women writers this series! That's as many as in the last five years I think.
