The ending of the last episode setting up this one didn't exactly excite me. The sight of an elephant on the Thames seemed rather silly.
But I watched the episode that followed and was particularly impressed. Not only is there a good plot to sustain the lovely quips between Capaldi (who has really settled into the role) and Pearl Mackie, and this episode also asks important questions about who the Doctor really is, and his attitude towards the people he's killed/seen die across the show's 50 odd year run.
This whole 10th series has been a return to form, and this episode is a good example of this.
