Nice that the WW1 soldier they saved was an ancestor of Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, although doesn't that mean that the Doctor was effectively messing directly with his own timeline, which I thought was a no-no? As for the ending, I get the feeling Steven Moffat is basically thumbing his nose at Chris Chibnall and saying, "OK, get her out of *that* situation, me bucko!".

When the First Doctor realises who Capaldi is, he says, "I thought I would regenerate into someone younger?" Hartnell was only 58 when he left Doctor Who, while Capaldi is now 59, so Capaldi would indeed be older than the First Doctor was!

the 12th doctor's TARDIS was taken by the ship, so the two doctors used the first Doctor's TARDIS to travel to the Dalek library, all fine there, but when did they go back to recover the TARDIS? because we then see both TARDIS in space, and they didn't go back to the ship to recover the second? its like they missed a scene there.

"Doctor... I let you go."

Very much a forth wall "Goodbye" from both Capaldi and Moffat (and I like him a lot, as do many people, despite the constant and very nasty vitriol on the internet). They had both loved the Doctor since they were kids and were both dying to do something with the show. Now it is done, the torch is passed.

Jodie, good luck I can't wait.

He seemed more...well...misogynistic than I remember him being from actual episodes he appeared in. Could be Moffat trying to get the people who insist the Doctor can't be a woman to look their own prejudices in the eye.

Very possible. For me, having not seen much of the first doctors episodes, it was more of a good laugh - seeing 12 run around "no no no you mustn't say that" sort of thing and getting all embarrassed whenever 1 talked to Potts in a condescending or misogynistic manner.

That's a fair point to come across as well, we all have things in our pasts we are not proud of. Leaving them in the past and moving forward to improve ourselves today (somewhat literally in the Doctors case?) is important.

How well does the 12th / audience know the history of the Lethbridge-Stewart clan? Did we know, one way or the other?

"*that* situation" we had already after the first utterance of "Geronimo!". Well, almost but not quite. Repetition makes the master?

By that time the Doctor had already acknowledged that Testimony aren't some evil organisation and had agreed to return the soldier to his Ypres shell hole, so they could have brought his TARDIS to him or he could have been allowed back aboard their ship to retrieve it--we just didn't need to *see* that.

We've met Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart's daughter--she's the Chief Scientific Officer for UNIT these days, and is played by Jemma Redgrave.

That was a well thought out line. I was so afraid that her first line would be some awful hackneyed reference to the new found possession of female body parts. Much as Capaldi's made reference to his being Scottish.

Edit: Oh I also just saw a take on this that the line is a reflection on the Dr being kinda "rewarded" for his eventual decision not to give up to death with a new experience. Which I must admit I kind like.
