And if done right, this could turn the shows fortunes around.

Trying to replicate a past era would not have worked.
Changing the main character to a female is a stretch too far. End of the matter

It's not a stretch at all though.

The Doctor has a 100% physical transformation every single time.

And, no, you don't get to say when the end of the discussion is. Don't be so bloody rude!

Mark Gatiss has played about 5 characters in this show now

The episode looks good though! Can't wait for the regeneration. I hope Jodie has a few lines at the end.

I assume Chibnall could have kept her on for another season if he wished but probably wanted to start from a blank canvas.

The End of Time - Tennant, RTD leave
The Time of the Doctor - Smith leaves
Twice Upon a Time - Capaldi, Moffat leave

I'm sensing a theme here (not to mention that Smith and Moffat's first episode was also time-related)

From what I understand Mark Gatiss is also leaving, so him appearing in this is something of a thank you for him, I don't mind him appearing anyway, he's a decent actor. I think Bill leaving is probably for the best, her story is pretty much done, I ended up liking her a lot more than I expected.

That's interesting actually as Gatiss has acted and wrote episodes for RTD and Moffat.

I'm waiting for it to arrive on Netflix before I can make a balanced judgement, but I'll be really unhelpful and say... kind of and also kind of not? There are definitely some stand-out stories and of course it's completely subjective (if you're a fan of majority two-parter, darker, heavily Moffatian episodes and lots and lots of Clara then you might love it), but something about it just felt... off and not very Who-like for me at the time. I might change my opinion completely when I re-watch but the whole Ashildr plot and Clara's prolonged farewell tour, plus the thought of episodes like Sleep No More make me hesitant. I know the critics absolutely loved it though, so -shrug-
