Is Bonnie willing to compromise the peace already in place, just for the sake of Zygons not needing to hide, even if it means making enemies not only of humanity but of her own race?

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. 15thDoctor View profile Like Liked 2 Open in new window Statistics AVG.

Next, she's waking up suddenly in her own bed. The alarm clock shows the time backwards at first, then correctly. 6:26. The camera is at a slight tilt to convey unreality as Clara gets up and walks along the corridor to the bathroom. She opens the cabinet and takes out a tube labelled This Is Toothpaste, then squeezes some onto her toothbrush, dropping it in the sink when she sees that it is black.) DOCTOR [OC]: Clara. Clara!
