Great episode. Capaldi should have been given more opportunities like this during his tenure. There's that hint of gothic horror that harks back to the Tom Baker years. Very creepy, and uneasy.

It was broadcast the week after my mum died - so pretty indelibly, amazingly stunning really.

I'm so sorry about your Mum! What a memory to attach to such an episode, eh?

Thank you - pretty apt title now I think about it (given that we never learn them at the point of first broadcast I had no idea till later) - it was inspiring, and thought-provoking and, of course, brilliantly written and acted. A bit of a needful time-out from reality, with an added sucker-punch of relevance when I thought I'd tuned in for a spot of escapism...

Absolutely agree, 100%.

Perhaps all Doctors should get one solo story like this.
