A reasonable episode that explores a key aspect of the Doctor's past, tries to tidy up lots of loose ends and with a surprise change of routine.

The Doctor returns for Season 9 with an epic-scale episode that's full of drama, wit and menace. Overall it was a very solid return with just a few odd moments.

One of the better episodes rounds off this season. This Christmas special was very Christmassy with Santa making a strong cameo. The storyline was solid, although the many influences were a little hard to ignore.

A pretty good climax to the series with a rather macabre premise.

This episode began with a thoroughly disturbing theory of the afterlife, settled into a standard episode and then blew me away with an astonishing revelation and a great cliffhanger.

An atmospheric, as opposed to frightening, episode that stands up well. The Earth is covered in trees that have sprung up overnight. The Doctor, Clara and Danny find out why.

A clever, creepy and satisfying episode that gave Clara the chance to the shine while the Doctor is trapped.

A throughly enjoyable episode with a scary new monster, great story telling and more insights into the Doctor's character.

A creepy, atmospheric episode that builds nicely to an innovative conclusion. But is Clara finished travelling with the Doctor?

A clever plot involving a new alien and a confrontation between the two men in Clara's life.
