Watching Doctor Who now and REALLY liking this premiere. Sheds some interesting light on the Doctor's relationship with the Master I tell you what.

I loved Missy getting ticked about how Davros is the Doctor's arch-nemesis. Why do I get the feeling this is going to come down to "If I don't get to kill him, NOBODY gets to kill him!!!!"

Dammit! As if my week wasn't bad enough, for some reason my DVR thought Doctor Who was a 43 minute show. Got the repeat set up with extra time but seriously annoying.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
That sucks, Frank. It was to be continued fwiw.
This was definitely the best episode of Doctor Who in a good long while.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I think there might be a small chance that BBCA could possibly rerun this episode some time in the near future.

No, I've already got the 1AM repeat set up with extra time, but it annoys me that for whatever reason the DVR thought it was going to only be 43 minutes. Makes no sense even in the UK. Isn't it an hour without commercials over there?

Thanks sj. I had a strong suspicion that would be the case given where things left off.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Here in Australia (public broadcaster, no commercials) it's scheduled for 48 minutes.

I loved Missy getting ticked about how Davros is the Doctor's arch-nemesis.
I lost it at her "I'll scratch his eye out" remark!
That "maximum extermination" order may come back to bite the Daleks on their metallic assess, though. The Doctor's morality is largely responsible for them not having been wiped out of existence long ago; Missy suffers no such handicap, and as "The Sounds of Drums"/"Last of the Time Lords" demonstrate she's not particularly concerned with preserving history as it should have transpired either.
