This one really just fails as a historical in a way most others don't. The French revolution makes sense as the Doctors favourite period, but here it's just completely stripped of anything interesting and just made into good Vs bad; the revolutionaries being evil and bloodthirsty for no reason whilst the counter-revolutionaries and British are orderly and friendly. Just does a complete disservice to an interesting and always relevant period of history. The actual plot isn't that interesting either, feels like various characters going to and from prison endlessly.

It does have a great TARDIS team though and enough to enjoy from them to stop it being truly awful.

My favourite from series 1. The main highlight is the sensorites themselves. I just kind of love how slightly pathetic they are compared to most aliens given a full costume. Its just fun for me to watch them bicker in soft-spoken voices and give a bunch of information about their world. Their designs and alien city sets are also just a lot of fun. It's definitely more of a dialogue heavy episode, but I'm fine with that. The twist villain should probably have been revealed earlier also, but I don't find it too bad as it currently is since I just enjoy watching the sensorites.

The most terribly awfully horribly disgustingly fumbled message I've ever seen, but at least it has Dugga Doo in it.

I adore wuxia movies so it's pretty hard for me to dislike this one despite it's dodgy writing and editing. They even get the 13th doctor to do a flip!!!!

An amazing setting and twist on the daleks completely squandered by pointless relationship drama with no setup, as well as the usual Moffatisms: embarrassing dialogue and artificial "badass" clips and speeches. The basic plot and ending twist is solid but distracted by the above. Lots of potential, but doesn't come close to reaching it.

It's an interesting one. To me this is one of the very few episodes that actually manages to pull off the frantic and convoluted style of the Moffat era. At the same time, it also has some of the most annoying and poorly aged early 2010s quirky dialogue that hurts a lot of the 11th doctors run. Somehow makes that almost possible to overlook with it's amazing set and costume designs, cool world building and a truly malevolent feeling villain. Also it has an ood, YAY!!!
