We’re so happy that this production crew were able to go out on a high, giving the Thirteenth Doctor the sendoff she deserved.

There’s a lot to complain about with this episode - the side plots are terrible, Bradley Walsh manages to teleport into a Bolivian volcano, and the fan service borders on too much - but we’ll give it a pass for giving us that wonderful scene with every living classic Doctor (except Four).

The final ten minutes of this episode, leading into Thirteen’s regeneration, are the high point of Chibnall’s entire run, with the showrunner finally managing to write a perfect resolution at the moment where it mattered the most.
