They should definitely have brought back the Doctor's Daughter by now. I wonder if Georgia Moffett is still acting?

She hasn't been for a little while going by Wikipedia, but I'd love it if they could get her back for an episode at least in the future, there's definitely a lot they could cover.

She's married to David Tennant irl isn't she?

 

Was never too fussed on that episode.

 

Joseph you've made me raid my mum and dad's house whilst they're away and thus far I've stolen all the Christopher Eccleston episodes.

That's right! Peter Davison's daughter marrying David Tennant, you really couldn't make it up :kink:

 

Great decision *.* plenty of Eccleston left, plus I'm currently reading the script of Bad Wolf :wub:

49 Mummy on the Orient Express

Series 8, Episode 8

Doctor: Twelfth

Companion: Clara Oswald

Also starring: Danny Pink

 

The Doctor tries to make things up to Clara after the ending of Kill the Moon with one "final" trip in the TARDIS, this time to the Orient Express in space, first teased in the closing moments of series 5. They learn about the death of Mrs. Pitt, who spoke of a mummy in her final moments. While Clara speaks to Mrs. Pitt's granddaughter Maisie, the Doctor speaks to the ship's engineer Perkins. Perkins is suspicious of the circumstances surrounding her death also, as well as the ship's automated command system Gus. Clara and Maisie become trapped in the storage car, while a chef is killed, also after talking about a mummy. The Doctor looks at video footage and noticed that both deaths occurred exactly 66 seconds after lights flickered, following a myth about the "Foretold". After one of Captain Quell's men is killed by the Foretold, the Orient Express illusion disappears and Gus reveals that they are in a laboratory to figure out the mystery of the Foretold. After Captain Quell is targeted, the Doctor figures out that the Foretold is targeting those that are medically vulnerable, and that Maisie is likely next due to her grief. When Maisie sees the Foretold, the Doctor draws on her memories so the Foretold will target him instead. He identifies the Foretold as a modified soldier of a long-since-finished war, and salutes him, telling him they surrender. The Foretold salutes back and dissolves into dust. Gus attempts to suffocate the passengers after they are no longer needed, but the Doctor teleports everyone to the TARDIS.

 

Aside from the story of Clara's disapproval of the Doctor, which I found quite unnecessary really, I really enjoyed this story. The Foretold is an excellent monster, and a unique take on a mummy villain. Perkins is likeable and I like the added threat of Gus too. Most of the Clara/Maisie scenes are pretty forgettable for me but the Doctor and Perkins are extremely watchable.

What I liked about that episode was Foxes's extremely hyped but eventual non cameo :lol: it was so pointless!

48 Flatline

Series 8, Episode 9

Doctor: Twelfth

Companion: Clara Oswald

Also starring: Rigsy, Danny Pink

 

Double series 8, and this time it's the first appearance of Rigsy. After the TARDIS lands in Bristol instead of London with some weird energy reasons, the Doctor become trapped inside as it shrinks in size. It's down to Clara to investigate, and she enlists Rigsy, who's doing community service nearby, to show her to a flat that's been locked from the inside, with no sign of the owner. They then visit the flat of the first disappearance, alongside PC Forrest, and are attacked by a creature in the walls and floor. PC Forrest is consumed by the Boneless. Clara and Rigsy shelter themselves on a hanging chair, which they swing out of the window to escape. They race to stop the community workers from painting over the missing people murals in the alley, as they are in fact what remains of the missing people thanks to the Boneless. They are chased by the creatures, who begin to gain a 3D form. After they find themselves trapped due to flattened door handles, the Doctor makes a device in the TARDIS and passes it to Clara to un-flatten them. The TARDIS drops out of Clara's bag and onto a traintrack, with an oncoming train on its way. Clara manages to stop the train but the TARDIS is put into siege mode, and Clara uses the train to try and ram into the creatures. When this fails, they use the Boneless' power against them as they restore the TARDIS and the Doctor banishes them.

 

This was another excellent concept in series 8 I think. I enjoyed the different personalities of the supporting cast and it's one of my favourite episodes for Clara too. The Boneless are pretty great threats, once again something we've not really seen before, but sadly they were defeated way too easily by the Doctor. Shame because everything leading up to that point had been great. Nevertheless, it's my second favourite story from series 8, with only Dark Water / Death In Heaven left!

 

Number of stories left per series:

 

1: 7

2: 5

3: 7

4: 9

5: 6

6: 1

7: 2

8: 1

9: 3

Specials: 6

Both of those episodes were great, really enjoyed them. I'd have preferred it if the mummy one stayed on the orient express rather than become a lab experiment but that was a minor niggle as the story was intriguing and the mummy had a real sense of threat.

 

I'm not sure what is left but I'm surprised there are potentially so many episodes that were better than those... that said, I can't actually always remember what they were from the titles alone so there could well be.

 

(ps high finishes for Blink and the Library ones please)

I really liked Mummy on the Orient Express, it was one of the best episodes in Series 8! On the other hand, I wasn't too keen on Flatline. There was far too much Clara :lol:
Mummy... and Flatline were the two highlights from a very poor series definitely, the timer used in the former particularly was a brilliant effect.

That daughter one was awful. Really cheesy.

 

Glad she died.

 

Also why is that and an episode aboot a sex pest alien so high??

Flatline and Mummy were so BORING

 

I fell asleep during Mummy. Absolute crao attempt to force a story out of a throwaway line from an earlier episode as they ran out of ideas.

I Love the Doctor's Daughter really great episode I guess the main thing that was the issue was the fact Martha could randomly talk to the Hath :')

 

Mummy On The Orient Express and Flatline also good!

Just curious is there any episode you like :lol:
