The chemistry between the Doctor and Rogue is a joy to watch, and feels so natural throughout. I love how they bounce off each other, and I am genuinely moved at the end as they become separated.

I would genuinely love to see more of them together.

The Chulder are also really interesting, cosplaying aliens is such a fun idea which has plenty of potential for stories. They're used so well, and the story setting is so well realised and beautiful.

Love, love, love. This episode has become my favourite rewatch. Ncuti and Jonathan have amazing chemistry and I really hope this is just the start of Rogue’s story!

damn first series 14 episode not an S. doctor who fell off.
Nah, but this episode is still great. It's kind of wild how much better a love interest feels when it's a rando rather than a companion.
A+. Maybe A.

I'm absolutely a sucker for fun romp episodes, and this is one heck of a fun romp episode. The chemistry between Gatwa and Groff is great, the period costuming and setting is so much fun. Villains based around cosplay? The Kylie Minogue dancing is an all-time funny moment in show history. Bring back Rogue!

Transcript + Script

[1813, Bath, England - formal gardens at night]

GALPIN: Lord Barton, you are a rake, a cad! You have dishonoured my sister!
BARTON: Lord Galpin, remind me, to which dishonouring are you referring? The one in the kitchen? In your study? In the stables?
GALPIN: You will marry her, sir!
BARTON: I will do no such thing. Now, I am awfully bored of your shouting. If you wish to challenge me to a duel then, please, sir, do. Then I can shoot you dead.

(Galpin cracks his neck.)

GALPIN: Wow. You really are wonderfully bad, aren't you?
BARTON: I beg your pardon?
GALPIN: You gamble, have affairs, you're an absolute snake. Meanwhile, I'm all noble and serious. Look at me. I'm so dull I'd rather be you.

(Galpin grabs Barton and lifts him off his feet.)
