The Time of the Doctor

Following on from the runaway success of The Day of the Doctor, The Time of the Doctor seems to have been with mixed reactions (I know one reviewer hoped it wasn't going to be like The Twin Dilemma following on from The Caves of Androzani). I enjoyed it and thought it was a fitting end to the reign of the Eleventh Doctor. One thing that's annoyed me is the criticism Peter Capaldi's already copped. I mean, for Gods sake, he's only in it for less than a minute! How the hell do you expect him to develop of character in that amount of time! Oh, and did anyone else notice that the aged Doctor's make-up made Matt look a little like William Hartnell. Have to say that final scene in the TARDIS was brilliant and very moving with the cameo by Karen Gillan (appropriately Amy was the one who said the final goodnight to the Eleventh Doctor) and Matt taking off his bow tie before completing the regeneration.

Thanks for everything Matt, you were brilliant. And welcome aboard Peter, you're going to be brilliant.
