We have Heaven Sent and if I’m being honest, if I were judging this on its own, not only would this be the best Twelfth Doctor story, but it’s frankly the best single episode in the entire show’s history. Do I even have to explain why this is considered one of Doctor Who’s ultimate highpoints. Moffat was once mine, and a lot of fans, favourite Doctor Who writer and I think we needed an episode like this to remind us why. It’s no debate that Moffat’s writing got steadily worse as his showrunner tenure went on and a lot of his weaknesses were starting to become more and more prominent. Heaven Sent however completely does away with Moffat’s tired tropes and manages to be a tight and focused story that’s clever, complex and a beautiful metaphor for conquering grief. What truly elevates this is Capaldi’s performance which to me is the single best performance Capaldi has delivered in his entire acting career. The man was clearly born to play the Doctor and sadly throughout most of his run he was handed a lot of shoddy material that made him appear like an older Matt Smith or an embarrassing dad going through a mid-life crisis. But Heaven Sent thankfully plays to Capaldi’s strengths and truly brings out the Twelfth Doctor we should’ve had more of in his three-year run. Capaldi may not be my favourite Doctor, but here for one hour he was undeniably the best Doctor of all time.
