Default SPOILERS AHEAD!

I was much happier in the way the two historical figures were portrayed in part two of Spyfall.

Having them in and making them part of the story rather than them being the actual story. It felt much less preachy than episodes last series. Of course the script said who they were and what they did but that was it. We didn't go on their journey, they went on the Doctor's journey.

Plus it allowed the viewer to, if they wished, to read up on these two important women without Chibnall ramming it down our throats for an hour.

Hopefully the rest of the series will do the same and i'll be fine with that.

Jodie is a lot more convincing as 'dark' Doctor as she played it very well in those final few minutes.

It was interesting in that last series we were given minimum back story or references to previous Doctor's / stories etc and now we are bombarded with it. From Logopolis to Time Lords to visiting Gallifrey. Makes it seem more like Doctor Who.

Look forward to more episodes with this Master.

A very good start to series 12. Roll on next week.
