So many particulars. So many questions.

the monser of the week was a bit...filler...but the humour was quality- capaldis running PE teacher gag among many lols.
I think this was an episode of character development over plot, even though they did shoehorn some meta arc stuff in at the end. Liked more for pathos than for quality sci fi time.
Lots of good support as wll. Disruptive Influence lol

Yeah...slipped in subtly. Maybe part of the arc.

Also, Twelve's smug self-satisfaction when he thinks Clara has copped off with an Eleven-a-like

Did anyone else spot Clara's Moon buttons in the last bit which may have been a hint about the next episode? Makes me wonder if there have been easter eggs about the following episode in each one...
And the music was a bit reminiscent of Sherlock in places and the afterlife official was somewhat Mycroftian.

I wonder if the doctor is considered a local hero at that school.

I thought a lot of the second half was Sherlockian.

That was one of the best episodes in a long time.

This cast is really good. Not just Capaldi, who is joyously wonderful, but Jenna Coleman is so good now she's got something decent to do and I also rate Samuel Anderson both practically and aesthetically. They just hit emotional points in the plot that seem truer and less shallow than before, however brief. Maybe someone else could be more articulate.
Loving this series.

excellent fun episode 'though the grandchild found it a bit scarier than listen judging by the occasional cushion deployment

Suburban robots that monitor reality
I really didn't like the invisibility watch. With that any future plot will have to deal with why any perilous situation wasn't avoided by using that device, otherwise they've thrown away a big chunk of consistency. It just seemed a massively powerful item to introduce for very little reason.
Didn't really rate the story - why was the alien only now waking, what was it was doing in the abandoned building, how did the Doctor know it was around?
Acting and dialogue were good though and as others have said, Clara is getting better as a character and Jenna Coleman is doing a great job.

More like *fanny* la rouge!
I enjoyed it, but thought it was a bit patchy. Not as good as the first 4, but better than last week's.
I thought the opening collage of quick scenes depicting Clara and Danny's dates was too cutesy and went on too long. Later, the way they dealt with the Doctor finding out about Danny and Clara was too clunking and drawn out. It could have been suggested to better effect had it been more subtle. In both those aspects, I detect Moffat's mawkish "tell not show hand" at work. Reign it in, Steve; you can go it.
(Also not keen on Missy being "God". I'll hold fire on that for now. But you're on a warning, Moffat).
That aside, it was fun, there was great dialogue, good dynamic between characters sparking off each other, and well-handled humour.
I am also just nerdy enough to enjoy the fact that the school was the same one featured in An Unearthly Child.

Really? It was probably the best of the series but that was hardly a high bar.
I thought it was watchable but the story was pretty crap.
The robot was shit though. NO getting away from that.

Watched it this morning , half asleep thought it was quite funny but the story a bit meh. I also have a feeling the girl at the school who threw up in the tardis is going to have a much bigger role ( possibly a future version of her.... )

So many particulars. So many questions.
Anyone recall this horror? I must have scrubbed it from my mind.
Its a short anniversary special. Starts with pertwee on Noels House Party
then I shit you not, it turns into a who/eastenders crossover with three doctors. I can barely remember who any of the eastenders faces are either
that probably set the 'new who' cause back by a good 10 years

I remember getting excited and watching it in the wastelands of nineties Who fandom. The plot still holds together better than the McGann film.
It was shot in 3D too.

i always find shoddy science / facts spoil things. the dr mentioned the moon putting on '1.3billion tonnes' when really that's an insignificant amount when compared to the acutal mass of the moon. reminds me of in prometheus where the evil woman mentioned being 'half a billion miles from earth' which wouldn't even take you out the solar system. why is it so fucking difficult to get absolutely basic stuff correct? oh i know we'll mention a billion because that sounds like loads. arseholes.
