Wow! This is mindblowing!!



No explanation to what the creature in the Thames is or what came about, but a good storyline!



The Doctor and Bill are in London 1814 where an ice carnival is happening.



So the TARDIS does land and should check his scanner before going out.



Privilege, scandal, urchins, you name it well written.



So people are pulled into the Thames and are a meal



Why?



The Doctor sees a disappearance for himself , a poor young thief named Spider, and decides to get involved (Typical).



He does get the street children / urchins onside (good writing on social consciousness).



The Doctor decides to get Scuba gear and dive in!!



Underneath is a creature that is chained( why?)



Further exploration to a factory with the help of a circus worker reveals mud brick that can be used as rocket fuel.



The Doctor visit the villain Lord Sutcliff and here comes the action. He fakes Club credential and when Sutcliff becomes ungentlemanly, the fight breaks out and the Doctor and Bill are arrested.



The doctor makes the most compassionate speak and have no effect.



Both the Doctor and Bill are sent to the Thames and the desperation now climbs.



Sonic Screwdriver to the rescue and the man with the tattoo holding the sonic screwdriver is lunch.



The best scene. The Doctor is a servant to humanity and Bill has to give the order.



A decision making moment for the companion that makes this the best episode so far.



Yes for liberation and then the action happens.



Bill and street urchins evacuate the river.



The Doctor works on his side.



Sutcliff decides to blow up the river circus.



Instead the Doctor reroutes the explosives to free the creature.



Game on! Sonic Screwdriver is recoverable.



Sutcliff is that last lunch for the fish.



Love the ending where the urchins inherit the Sutcliffe name.



And that newspaper clip rock.



So what is in the vault?

google TV boxes are useful!!



Welcome to a new era.



I rate this 8.5/10 !



This is much better than last week's mishmash!



Bill does a Rose in this one and written better.



Nardole makes a brief cameo.



So past or future Bill?



Future it is!!





Did someone rip off RTD's 2nd script?



No.



We see the future. Something has gone wrong with the robotic servants

and the humans. People are dying and sadness is target for unmutuality!



The first crew dies ....



The Doctor and Bill arrive to a new city on a planet

20 light years.



There are scanned and greeted.



The robots speak Emoji.



As I said unhappy feelings are reasons for being nailed off.



First its dinner.



Then the garden only to find that the dead are being used as fertiliser.



The Doctor and Bill make it back to the TARDIS rather britally.



The Doctor tells Bill to stay with the TARIDS while he

prevents a next ship from being slaughtered.



Back to the city for the Doctor. So far so good

and the Doctor is looking for something new.



Bill surprises the Doctor (how fast is she) and

Bill is getting under the Doctor's skin.

Yes, the Doctor is the Police . Nice twist.



The Doctor and Bill find a ship (United Earth) and enter.



The doctor gets Bill to read the schematic of the ship.



The Doctor plans to use the ship to blow up the mad machines.



Here is the brilliant twist!!



Bill find a young colonist!



As the Doctor is trying to set the ship to destruct, Bill is trying to

get new information to the Doctor.



The Doctor has to fight a mechanical antibody. The time of his life as usual.



As soon as the Doctor finds out about the new colonist,

he countermans his own sabotage.



He has to now plan a peaceful co-existence with the colonists

and the artificially intelligent life forms, the Vardy

otherwise humanity in its anger could be wiped out.



The young colonist is looking for his mother and feels sad.



An angry fight arises when the shuams and the vardy tangle.



The Doctor does need to work on anger control when bad news happens.



The Doctor's only chance is to hit the reset button

and he does.



The Vardy have forgetten unhappiness and grief.



The humans need to be clamed down.



The Doctor acts as go between and



please everyone smile.



Happy endings and a new adventure awaits.



Plot: Clearer than the start.



The doctor : His usual self



Bill: The companion that is maturing.

5.5 / 10



All right Since Christmas we have been expecting Bill Potts

to come to the Table.



The Doctor is trying to crack a vault with Nardole.



Why is the Doctor interested in Miss Bill Potts?



She is tagging along for the ride while the Doctor

poses as a Bristol U lecturer. So how did the Doctor get these creditials

and what are they trying to crack?



Bill and 'Heather' is having a friendly relation on that Hether

is no longer human.



So what is this intelligent fuel and what was it doing at Bristol U?



I wonder if Bristol U has been upgraded since 1992 when I went into

the Library just to check the local politics on a national newspaper.

It looks different.



So Bill and The Doctor has spent some time from say OCtober to

whatever the new semester is.



2 plots. 1 ) The Vault in Bristol.



2) Heather becoming the pilot in this intelligent goo.



What hots up? Heather in Bill's Flat and the chase is on.



1st the vault.



2nd Australia



3rd 23 million years into the future.



All right, this goo which 'midnight' is travelling through space and

time. Rather perplexing.



4th a Movellan Dalek Battle hopefully to kill this glob.



The Glob becomes a Dalek and then back to Heather.



Now for a mental battle. Will Miss Bill join Heather on her travels?



No.



Will the Doctor try to mind wipe Bill?



Bill is trong and looks to be more informed.



A small mental battle is ensuing and the Doctor

and Nardole

decides Bill will joins.



No explanation to what the goo is. No idea of why the vault

is there. No real idea of how everything lines up. I think Moffat

was tired when he wrote this script.



The Doctor : Still as wiley as can be.



Bill Potts: I will give her a chance



Nardole: Creative



Hands up who was impressed.



The Future episodes look nice.
