It has to be said this really did feel like the end of a chapter, and a goodbye was said to all from the Steven Moffat/Peter Capaldi era, fond farewells to Clara, Bill, even Mark Gatiss, who's been somewhat a fixture in the show's return was given a great send off. Fortunately the last hurrah was absorbing from start to finish, a wonderfully clever story, dazzling effects, and a proper nod to the show's history.
Capaldi ending his time in style, he was exceptional in this episode, his character has become incredibly well balanced, strong and humorous. David Bradley once again utterly on point in Hartnell's shoes, doing true justice to the first Doctor. A really fine performance from Mark Gatiss also (If you're reading more League of Gentlemen PLEASE!)
Nice touches the whole way through, that poignant moment where the Christmas day ceasefire was remembered, such a powerful moment.
Funny, moving, intriguing, sentimental, the list goes on, the show what it should be, the best thing on at Christmas. 10/10
