In a series of Doctor Who with only eight episodes, having a Doctor-lite episode feels something of a luxury. This greatest hits remix of previous episodes like Love and Monsters, Blink and Turn Left, where we only see glimpses of the Doctor in the background, just about earned its place in the run.
Much of the weight of the episode was carried by whether you could invest in hate-watching Jonah Hauer-King as odious grifter Conrad Clark, the podcast host and conspiracy theory propagandist who had gone through what he called the “chore” of getting to know Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson) in order to “expose the lies” of Unit.
