	Media	Author	Review
		Michael Hogan Telegraph	"Peter Capaldi is a veritable elder statesman and a throwback to Doctor Who’s roots. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"
		Mary McNamara Los Angeles Times	"This Doctor is truly something else again."
		Neela Debnath The Independent	"Capaldi is hilarious and brilliant (...) Capaldi firmly takes hold of the Time Lord reins and doesn’t let go in this fun adventure."
		Geoff Berkshire Variety	"What Capaldi lacks in youthful energy, he more than makes up for in gravitas and wry eccentricity."
		Mike Hale The New York Times	"Capaldi's Doctor is not just older but looks to be drier in his humor, more reticent, more coldblooded and dangerous. From a critic’s point of view, that’s interesting and potentially an improvement."
		David Wiegand SFGATE	"The episode is about making Clara, and the audience, feel at home with the new Doctor. She does, and we do."
