The start to this #DrWho season, #TheRobotRevolution, was good fun with a bit of a 80s Dr Who vibe and a name that @viznut would appreciate.

It was let down by unnecessarily heavy handed delivery and a disappointing resolution, but if this was the new baseline, and we went up from here, I think we could be happy. A lot, lot better than #SpaceBabies at least.

#DoctorWho #DevilsChord was a lot better than #SpaceBabies and #Maestro was an absolutely delightful baddy with a delicious performance by #JinkxMonsoon. It's just a pity they didn't use the setting a bit more and honestly the plot was kind of razor thin.

So not yet stunning, but not painful to watch either.

#TheDevilsChord was amazing, I thought #SpaceBabies was alright but not my thing.
