Blooming cracking episode
Lots more of that please

Gluetap · 26/01/2020 21:29

@Forestwitch, thank you!

Samcro · 26/01/2020 21:35

I liked the other doctor
Wish she was our doctor

OhYouBadBadKitten · 26/01/2020 21:37

That was a good episode. Also lots of unexpected stuff, especially for mid season.

EmpressLangClegInChair · 26/01/2020 21:47

Brilliant - I’ll watch this one! Grin

OhMsBeliever · 26/01/2020 21:48

Wow! We loved that episode. I guessed it was Captain Jack before my boys, amazingly!

It will be interesting to see where the storyline goes.

Thanks for the link to the lighthouse, we were wondering where it is.

CountFosco · 26/01/2020 22:25

Loved tonights episode although I did have to pause it to explain who Jack was to the DC. Lovely to see Jack again. Loved Jo Martin. WTF is going on??? Brilliant!

SushiGo · 26/01/2020 23:08

Another fantastic one! I loved Ruth, and would happily see her back again :D jack was an awesome surprise. I'm impressed that John managed to convince his way back on set Grin

I'm thinking something alternate universe-y with the lone cybermen? Maybe linked to someone else from the past?

Really pleased it's back on form.

SESthebrave · 26/01/2020 23:09

This series is so much better!

Surely we must see more of Jack? He needs to meet The Doctor yet and maybe he’ll save the day with the lone cyber man?

Afterwards, DS and I watched The Empty Child so he could see when Captain Jack first appeared.

SoupDragon · 27/01/2020 07:21

Captain Jack and other Doctor both outclassed JW's Doctor for me. They really showed her up.

I recognised Captain Jack's voice. DD has never seen him before and said "he looks fun!" She's not wrong!

CakeandCustard28 · 27/01/2020 10:03

Im a massive fan of Doctor who but I just can’t get into this season. Anyone finding this? I love Ruth but it’s just... not the same. Blush

Chemenger · 27/01/2020 10:14

I would like a Doctor swap, the other Doctor had better clothes and a better Doctor manner.

iklboo · 27/01/2020 12:11

Doctor Ruth had more gravitas and kick ass. She'd be a brilliant permanent Doctor for me. I don't not like Jody, but the gormless expression she does sometimes followed by breakneck delivery can be a bit wearing.

SoupDragon · 27/01/2020 12:17

the gormless expression she does sometimes followed by breakneck delivery can be a bit wearing.

I agree.

I'll admit, I didn't want a female Doctor. I gave Jodie the benefit of the doubt in the last series as the writing was really poor. I still don't like her and seeing Ruth as a comparison makes her look even worse to me - I could have accepted Ruth as a female Doctor!

NewModelArmyMayhem18 · 27/01/2020 12:56

@CakeandCustard28 I agree with you. I have struggled to concentrate properly on any of the episodes in this series, except for this most recent one. I was so excited to see Captain Jack return and to find that there's another version of the Doctor. Both brilliant curveballs!

In a way I quite like it that most of this season's episodes have been set on earth.

spiderlight · 27/01/2020 13:49

Lame claim to fame - I've used the loo at that lighthouse!

iklboo · 27/01/2020 14:01

Maybe most of the episodes are on Earth because the Doctor is trying to reduce her galactic carbon footprint Grin

CountFosco · 27/01/2020 19:09

Ahem. The TARDIS does not run on fossil fuels.

EmpressLangClegInChair · 27/01/2020 19:23

Ok, watched it. That was BRILLIANT.

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 27/01/2020 19:40

I really enjoyed it! And squeaked when Captain Jack reappeared.

Although we did wonder what had happened to the poor people of Gloucester!

NewModelArmyMayhem18 · 27/01/2020 19:41

I think they're running out of ideas for the 'monsters' although maybe we've see the Judoon before?

This is an interesting article about how Ruth's Doctor may fit in (or not), but don't read it if you're averse to SPOILERS!

mummmy2017 · 27/01/2020 19:54

I agree wonder how Jodie feels at being out acted in her own show.
Why do I feel Ruth and Jack would be fireworks.

SushiGo · 27/01/2020 20:02

Judoon first appeared in season 3 in Martha's first episode (Judoon on the moon 😉) and have turned up a few times since I think?

BlueHarry · 27/01/2020 20:22

Reading this thread full of spoilers might be enough to get me watching doctor who again. I have been disappointed Matt Smith onwards. I watched all of Peter Capaldis Doctor but felt he was wasted on poor storylines and scripts. I watched the first episode with Jodi and completely lost interest. It sounds like it's getting better. I was actually excited that there was going to be a female doctor until I watched that episode. I'm going to give it a try I think.... Mostly because I'm excited to see Captain Jack.
