Synopsis

The Eleventh Doctor and Clara Oswald have arrived at the Temple of Infinite Profit on the Seventh Moon of Koth, maintained by the money-worshipping religious order known as the Mandalax Tide. This religious order has a collection plate the size of Birmingham, and it has acquired a Matter Translation Portal. On the psychic paper, the Doctor has received a message from the other side of the portal reading, "Have you heard the Piper pay?" Sensing the fear and desperation in the message, he and Clara enter the portal.

The world Scott Gray summons here is compelling and despite how fantastic it is, grounded in the real world. Potentially because how much of everything is driven by money, something that doesn’t come up often in Doctor Who. The sale of some helpless fluffy creatures is the perfect trap for The Doctor.

The only part of the conclusion that falls flat for me is the ability for the Doctor to digitally regenerate himself from a single cell - it sort of just happens. It would have been nice to see a more elegantly written escape from this certain fate.
