Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSteven Moffat revealed that the episode originated with the decision, "I'm going to do a chamber piece, with no money, in the middle [of the eighth series], because I haven't done one in ages and I'd like to prove that I can actually write."
- GoofsThe Doctor should remember that Clara, as the "Impossible Girl," was present in every moment of the Doctor's life to save him, and not allow the TARDIS extrapolate her time line when it includes all of his as well. But this Doctor has demonstrated other memory loss in series 8, possibly because he is the first regeneration in a new set (of 12) and the consequences of that are not fully known.
- Quotes
Clara Oswald: So listen. If you listen to nothing else, listen to this. You're always gonna be afraid even if you learn to hide it. Fear is like a companion. A constant companion, always there. But that's ok. Because fear can bring us together. Fear can bring you home. I'm gonna leave you something, just so you'll always remember. Fear makes companions of us all.

The episodes asks some truly fascinating questions, I loved him talking about creatures having 'perfect hiding,' who'd know? brilliant.
I have to say it Capaldi's performance was utterly outstanding, he is hugely charismatic as the Doctor, he is totally owning the role. I didn't warm to Matt initially, he did fairly quickly win me over, but Capaldi, had me hooked. I'll say it again the dynamic between Peter and Jenna is wonderful to watch.
Favourite part for me of course, Clara's encounter with young Danny Pink, and 'The' bed scene, it was utter brilliance and truly scary. Scary doesn't always have to mean huge effects and big monsters. What this episode showed in the same way that Midnight did is that the fear of the unknown can be the most chilling thing there is.
I like how Clara is trying to carry on with normal life, and failing badly, it's cleverly done.
It's a fabulously written episode, I love every element of it, it is gorgeously produced, fabulously acted, and in my opinion one of the show's standout episodes. It's just sublime 10/10 Perfect.
