    A great end to a superb series.

    Mary Fisher has now lost everything, her last chance is religion, that comes in the form of Father Ferguson, but even his presence has been manipulated.

    It definitely gets wilder and more extreme as it's developed, and this is without doubt the craziest episode so far, compare this to Part 1, it literally is a world apart.

    The She Devil's plan has also gotten crazier, we see her go to the most extreme measures, and we finally learn her plan, and it's a shocking one.

    Tom Baker, what can you say, he's just fabulous, so different to his role as The Doctor, his scene with Wallace at the table is a real highlight.

    It really is on point.

    What a way to end the series, 9/10.
