'The Doctor Falls' yet the show continues to rise by leaps and bounds
1 July 2017 | by davidheriot-04195See all my reviews

The Doctor Falls, the second part of the Series 10 finale, although is weaker than it's first part, is still one of the finest episodes delivered in Doctor Who's current run since 2005.

It changes the tone much to a character piece, for several main figures, compared to last week's horror-infused instalment. The shift to characters, although has brought several of his finales down before, has only strengthened Moffat's last finale. What has been a strong series, though a few pitfalls in places, ends on one of the very best episodes of Series 10.

As mentioned last week, the acting of the previous episode was fantastic. Well, 'The Doctor Falls' sets the bar far higher. Simm, Gomez, Lucas, Mackie and especially Capaldi all give their most exceptional performances in the show to date, in my opinion.

The music by Murray Gold continues to emphasise the various human emotions, their victories and their losses in this episode, with Rachel Talalay's first-class directing only serving as a catalyst to the episode's success.

I was worried the episode could fall flat yet, bar some minor grievances, it lived up to my overly-optimistic expectations. Many series finales have at times been divisive, and I expect 'The Doctor Falls' could fall flat to some people's own hopeful wishes, however I was only full of praise once the credits rolled.
