Season 11, Episode 3
10/10
One of my favorite episodes of Doctor Who!
21 October 2018
In a word, Spectacular! The negative reviews dictate that the episode was little more than a history lesson are in need of a second watch. Spoiler alert! Doctor Who is about history too, not just space and time. Whilst some elements of the episode are predictable the story and it's main idea still remain compelling. Malorie Blackman joins the writing team for "Rosa" and shows viewers why she is a brilliant and award-winning writer.

Its rare for me to sit down, watch a program and finish it utterly speechless. My first word was "Wow!" and that's what the episode is. A little emotional joyride that reminds us that its "little actions" that cause big changes in history. Such a simple concept of an episode makes for brilliant Who and well worth the watch.

Jodie is brilliant in her role as the Doctor and the companions consistently have roles that effect the course of the episode. Not just their actions but the way they look too! Acting is on point and the episode overall is just thoroughly enjoyable as well as walking the fine line of family and adult television.

Sit back, relax, and get ready to smile!
