Kerblam!

I thoroughly enjoyed Kerblam, an episode that felt more like those from recent seasons. It was funny, relevant, and finally, we get some worthy Alien threats. Very relevant nowadays with the rise of companies like Amazon, at a time where businesses are bigger then ever, and workers are even smaller cogs in the huge business engines.

It seemed to do everything I've been asking for, we get the alien threat in the form of the excellent robots (it harked back to The Greatest Show in the Galaxy somehow,) we got a mention of The Unicorn and The Wasp.

Whittaker was on great form, I thought she was excellent. I really enjoyed Julie Hesmondhalgh's performance too, she was terrific. Lee Mack fulfilled a lifetime dream by appearing.

Some of the best writing of this series so far.

Totally brilliant, loved it. 9/10

This is the first episode of the new series that has delivered exactly what I expect of Doctor Who, and the first that I've rated over 5 stars. They managed to get some social commentary in whilst having a real sci-fi plot that kept you guessing; a balance that was sorely lacking in previous episodes.

If the rest of the season is like this then I'll be happy.

Really loved this episode. Definitely a big step in the right direction as the last episodes have been a little weak. Funny but also tense and unpredictable. I am now more excited for future episodes!

Amaz.. I mean kerblam takes a look at our almost too realistic future. The twist wasn't that obvious, but I knew one was coming. I loved the consequences of the villain's actions. Some of the CGI was a bit.. iffy, but it is only a TV episode. Creepy, twisty, dark, and a grim future, this ep is one of the best of the season so far!

Best episode this series and I'd say in so long for Doctor Who. Everyone can say they miss Moffat but he had so many issues too. This is the first time writing DW for Pete Mctighe and he nailed it! The dialogue was so natural, the pacing was on point, the characters were all excellent, the plot was really well handled with the twist feeling like a twist. He also handled the companions better than in previous episodes. I hope to see this writer much more!
