The final scene in the barn is an extraordinary exploration of childhood trauma and fear, something everyone suffers on some level. We all felt alone and scared sometimes, so to suggest that it can motivate us to become a hero like the Doctor is a beautiful message #DoctorWho

@GuyLambertUK For me, the Cpaladi Era is probably the nuwho's best era in terms of storytelling.

@CrillcoA I need to properly revisit it because I have a feeling you might be right

@GuyLambertUK It’s the pinnacle of Nu Who

@JamesPeaty1575 I’m going to rewatch it all soon with my new mindset and find out!

@GuyLambertUK just finished a rewatch of the show and one of the things that i really like with capaldi's era specifically is the ability to take on some of the real world things like paradoxes and traumas, child and parent relationships,ect. it translates really well on a grand cosmic level

@PyroTyrant Yes, I wasn’t keen on that back then, I wanted running around and adventures, but I’m looking forward to exploring it now

@GuyLambertUK I didn’t like or understand the switch to Capaldi to start with, probably because of his brilliantly-played former famous role…but by the end of his era as the Dr I was very sad to see him go. It felt deep, grown up and quite mind-bending. And I loved his Rock God moments 🤩

@cathbal66 I really like Capaldi and thought the start of S10 was great, but otherwise I didn’t click with the era at all. I don’t know why really, there was something too dark and too pessimistic about it. Am excited to revisit now though, I think there’s a lot to enjoy

@GuyLambertUK Love this ep. One of it's messages (IMHO) - anybody can be somebody regardless of their start in life.

@Swindon_Donkey Oh that’s a very good reading, I hadn’t thought of that. Applies to Danny as well as the Doctor

@GuyLambertUK 12’s tenure had some really *different* stories. I wish 12 and Bill had longer as a duo. Having said that, they series ended brilliantly

@DanielLuck23 Yeah I would’ve loved more of them at the Uni

@FletcherNoise Yeah for sure. I quite admire Heaven Sent but not sure I liked it. I felt the show had drifted away from family TV at that point. Will definitely have to revisit it all

@GuyLambertUK Yup

@GuyLambertUK "Listen" is a banger of an episode. I particularly liked the reference to it in Moffat's novelization of "The Day of the Doctor"

@GuyLambertUK I didn't like the way this incarnation was portrayed at the start of his tenure. (Did Moffat admit this was an mistake or did I dream it?!) Preferred his later seasons.
