Doctor Who "World Enough And Time" Spoiler Free Review


Hello Doctor Who fans we are so near the end of series 10 and i have to say this has been a really solid series thus far but how about we get onto my thoughts of this weeks episode well since you asked nicely here is my review of World Enough And Time.


This is the first part of a two part finale and thus there really isn't much of a story to think of the only thing i can think of is The Doctor , Missy and Nardole try to save Bill from an evil hospital. Not only is that the only story i could think of it's also the only one i could use that doesn't give away any plot points. To be fair the story is pretty good and it does have alot of twists and turns that did keep me interested.


Now in this episode we of course have Peter , Matt and Pearl who do a pretty good job altho they do spend most of the episode apart so you don't get that great banter which i really like and they are joined by Michelle Gomez who is a true delight in this episode she just fires of witty lines left , right and center and at times does act like the Doctor himself. Now i would at this point mention the guest cast but since the guest cast really isn't that big and one of them is also a spoiler i'm not going to mention them by name but i will say that the guest cast do a great job and it's great to see that person back in the show.

Now the so called monsters are from the classic series and i say so called because they don't really appear until the end of the episode but i will say it's great to see them again lets just hope it's not decades since we see them take center stage in another Doctor Who episode and they do look really creepy.


What i found kind of annoying was the fact that the episode focuses a little to much on Bill altho i do like the character she works best when she's with The Doctor and Nardole so to me having her on her own for a large portion of the episode isn't that good.

For a two part episode this episode flew by the pacing was just so fast i would have preferred it if they just took the time to slow things down a bit instead of just rushing to the great twist ending and the big reveal sometimes slower is better especially when it comes to multistory episodes you need a lot of tension to carry over to the next episode and i felt like there really wasn't any apart from the things i can't talk about.


Overall this was a great start to a two part episode but it does have a few personal issues that do keep it from being a ten so for me this episode is a 7.5 out of 10
