Face the Raven succeeds not only because of the beautifully nuanced performances of its leads but also due to the skill and heart of the production staff. Writer Sarah Dollard is the third woman to write for New Doctor Who and the second this series. Its hard to believe this is her first Who script as her style fits so well within the confines of the Doctors story. Director Justin Molotnikov does a superior job of framing each performance and making sure the action keeps moving at the correct pace. Murray Golds score is a revelation, gripping and heartbreaking by turns and never overpowering what is happening on screen. Face The Raven is the perfect end to Claras journey and an episode that will be talked about for a long, long time.
