Dramatically fascinating, and brilliantly acted. But making the oldest Doctor also be a grumpy old man for so long is a predictable choice. It’s so much more fun when he goes against that with fun, cheeky moments. And Capaldi/Mackie’s chemistry is up there with Baker/Sladen and Tennant/Tate.

Jenna Coleman sprung off Doctor Who into a great career, and rightly so. Matt Lucas allows the Doctor’s gruffness to be funny because it doesn’t feel threatening. Heaven Sent is an amazing piece of SF AND character drama.

But a chore to actually watch.
