Watched the David Tennant new episode on iplayer on UHD and really enjoyed it!

And yet, The Magician's Apprentice The Girl Who Died The Woman Who Lived Face The Raven Heaven Sent * Hell Bent * World Enough and Time The Doctor Falls * Twice Upon A Time Saturday was a very low bar achieved by comparison.

TheScribbler 28 Nov 3:12pm, 28 Nov 2023 6,146 posts	0 TheScribbler One of the things I like about David Tennant as the Doctor is his ability to switch between emotions so quickly and believably. I think Russell T Davies takes advantage of that in his writing. There was a good example when he meets Shirley Bingham and there’s that brief exchange that shows how unsure he is about who and why he’s back, while he’s trying to figure out what’s happening AND being super clever. It was something I first noticed with DT in Casanova.
