The Caretaker


This story was fun. The doctor undercover at coal Hill school trying to bait a deadly killing machine. It was brilliant. I love stories set at coal Hill (which is why I love class so much) and this story paves the way for the upcoming spin off set at coal Hill which is class. Clara & Danny's relationship is shown more here and the doctor finally meets Danny who he at first mistakes for Adrian who looks very much like matt Smith's doctor. Danny & the Doctor really don't get on at first because Danny is a soldier and the doctor hates soldiers. I love how in the end Danny saves the planet and the doctor grows respect for him that was really nice. The skovox blitzer itself was an interesting villain and I wish we had it back at some point but we don't. We also see more of the promised land here and i really can't wait for the Finale because I love this arc so much. Overall a really good story set at coal Hill school with development of clara and Danny's relationship. 10/10
