My name is... WHAT?! 'Doctor Who' 33.13, "The Name of the Doctor"

I’m not going to do a standard ten-point review for this; I can’t do ten points without being spoilery. So I’ll be brief.

 

This was a bit of a dragger of an episode; there were moments that could have done with being somewhat shorter. It is also clearer that the show is spending money on effects instead of a large cast; nearly everyone had prior form on the show. However, we had moments of great drama and a superb explanation for Clara.

 

The revelation of the ‘Name’ and that ending… that’s going to be speculated on for months and talked about for years.

 

Roll on 23 November.
