The Magician's Apprentice


This story was pretty dull. It's another dalek story and this time we are on skaro. The doctor gave Missy his confession dial which is the big thing this series because he thinks he's dying soon. I like that we have Davros back for the first time since Series 4, and the doctor actually saw him as a child. It's very cool to be on Skaro for the first time in the revival. This is one of those rare series where there is no sonic at all instead we have the sonic Sunglasses which are genuinely so cool but I will grow to miss the sonic. Having Missy back was cool and she is beginning to turn good but that won't fully happen till next series. I don't really like series 9 there are a few stories that I do like but there will be a big decrease in love for these stories compared to the huge amount of love I gave last series. Overall an okay story that takes us to skaro for the first time in the revival and brings back davros. 5/10
