Chrisull Jun 2017 10:21pm, 24 Jun 2017 11,319 posts	0 Chrisull My word - Moffat finally remembered once upon a time he could pen an exceptional episode... "I waited for you..." yes we have been.. Great one, and lets hope the finale doesn't go back into Russel T Davies mode of lets blow shit up in ever greater and more spectacular amounts. We demand emotion as well!

Some strong direction and an excellent concept (amazing that it's taken this long for them to dabble in time dilation). And those Cybermen were ripped straight out the 60s - they did literally nothing to update the design at all. Had they not given it all away in the previews that would've been a great reveal.

GordonG Jun 2017 9:11am, 26 Jun 2017 7,171 posts	0 GordonG it would be great if they were joined by the first version of the Master, the one with the pointy beard who looked like Ming the Merciless... (who, as a kid, used to scare me more than the Daleks)

McGoohan Jun 2017 10:25am, 26 Jun 2017 29,819 posts	0 McGoohan I'm sure they could get a lookalike stand in, like they did with William Hartnell in The Five Doctors or Three Doctors or whatever.
Badger Jun 2017 11:52am, 26 Jun 2017 8,490 posts	0 Badger Ainley wasn't the original - that was Roger Delgado, who died even longer ago (and was significantly less hammy than Ainley). Rumour has it David Bradley is going to be playing the Hartnell Doctor in the Christmas episode.
