Kerblam! Is the first episode of the Chibnall era to actually feel like a traditional episode of Doctor Who, with its cheesy action set-pieces and unique, catchphrase-based villains, the Kerblam Men, who are about the best stab Series 11 has at a memorable monster.

It does fall apart significantly at the end unfortunately, when writer Pete McTighe stumbles over his moral of the story and ends up accidentally endorsing a fairly ruthless and employee-damning approach to capitalism. It’s a strange one.
