Village of the Angels
Once again we veer hard in the quality stakes as this one was massively better than the previous weeks episode and probably one of the better ones of Whittakers entire era. At this point we have to pretty much resign ourselves to Yaz simply being one of the most pointless companions the Doctor has ever had, there's just no time left at all to salvage her whilst Dan remains in tow for largely no real reason other than to pad the cast out. This ep though separated them out from the Doctor and this finally, just before we get to the end of her era, finally felt like she landed the role. The pacing was well done, it was tense at the right moments and none of it felt undercooked. Any cliffhanger carries the issue of knowing they'll be fine but in terms of this ep is was a good one. The next episode looks like it continues on from this one to an extent so in terms of potential issues the main one to watch for seems to be the Angels and Division aspect which doesn't remotely work with the characters prior appearances in the show at all.
