Review of The Zygon Inversion by 15thDoctor

3 June 2025

It’s not all about that speech. But my God that speech has to be Capaldi’s defining and proudest moment as The Doctor. The show has a chance to breathe and focus on something which defines it: peace.

This second half is a showcase for a killer cast who are given the chance to slow down and have a series of compelling character moments. It’s odd that this is what comes out of a sequel to The Day of the Doctor, and the follow up to last week’s globe trotting adventure. Such a serious and well composed piece of small scale drama, the world away from a romp.

I don’t think I appreciated at the time what a fantastic team the Twelfth Doctor and Clara were. I didn’t realise how good I had it.
