I thought it was a great ep
But filled with some terribly hamfisted "comedy" only after did I realise it was Rufus Hound - current the leading BBC contender for worlds unfunniest man. Note to the writer of this weeks Ep - you can't write comedy - please don't attempt it again.
If they had not taken the mistep of trying to balance the darkness of Ashildr with the comedy it could have been a truly classic episode.
It was frankly insulting to both Peter Capaldi and Maisey Williams that they couldn't let the episode stand on their 2 shoulders. They were electric together with nary a romantic notion in sight. In Ashildr they have possibly filled a role that has been empty since we last saw the Rani. More Maisey please it's nice to see her stretch her talents.
