Growing up with Doctor who in the 70s and 80s I always liked how it treated its viewers respectfully and credited them with intelligence. Even as a 50 something watching Tennant, Smith and Eccleston I still enjoyed the reboot and found them well written. This episode however is the poorest I have ever seen due mostly to plot and themes. Ncuti Gatwa needs better episodes written if he's going to stand the test of time. Massive budgets and charisma from Ncuti don't compensate for lame stories about space babies. Theres a paint drying video on YouTube that's more interesting. Let's see what the rest of the season brings!

This is a refreshingly different episode that's extremely disturbing and thoroughly engaging. Like the tagline, you literally never look away from the screen.

Extremely good acting from Carey Mulligan and a great example of the plot possibilities in the time / space travel genre of TV and movies.

Perfectly crafted and excellently paced. The less is more certainly works here. The locations are really well thought out and contribute to the journey through the story. Easily the best of the post 2005 series and Steven Moffat excels at making an episode that is satisfying to both SCI-FI and Horror fans. 10/10.

People saying this was far fetched and not in keeping with the TV series, really? Do you not remember 9 Lives Alice? Plus all the other crazy stuff that happened, how many deaths and car chases in the TV show?

It was a cat and mouse fast paced action film, What do we want thought provoking or to be entertained in this ever more depressing reality of 21st century life?

So what they through in a baddies lair and some set pieces reminiscent of Bond. Some cheesy parts like the baddie and his setup but it was never meant to be a true story.

This is an enjoyable film as long as you see it in the eyes of a decent action flick and not some boring thought provoking stuff like the typical Oscar chasing movies!!
