Thats episode 2 done. After last week?s busy and action-filled arrival of Capaldi, this episode was more of a slow burn and it gave a better chance to see this the new Doctor. Indeed, up until the invasion of the bad Daleks, it was quite a wordy affair, with the Doctor giving long explanations of his plan. It showed that, despite the advance in years, this regenerated Time Lord is sprightly in body and mind and building some charisma . However, his habit of suddenly stopping in mid flow does sometimes give the impression that this is a Time Lord with early onset memory problems. An idea completed with Clara's gag ?I?m his carer.?
At my count this episode marked the 4th actor to have appeared in Spaced and Dr Who.
