- GoofsThe traitor Dalek has a visible bit of damage on the upper right side of its eye stalk, however, in one closeup (after The Doctor has arrived to speak with it in the magma caves), its eye stalk is completely intact.

Featured review
It might just be my expectations at this point were extremely low, but that was the best of Chibnall's run.
Yes - the plot doesn't make any sense, there are plot holes you could drive a train through, and some of the lines sound as if they were read off a cue card.
But the spectacle of the thing more than makes up for it - throwing just about everything at the screen in the hope something sticks. - just don't spend any time trying to work out what's happening.
Massive fan service - if you aren't familiar with Classic Who, there will be moments of pure bafflement as old characters pop up with no explanation.
And finally, the best regeneration of NuWho.
