It's been an entertaining ride, but the end of Doctor Who 's ninth series/season (I need to decide on a word and stick to it really) has come to an end. In true Doctor Who style though, that end will of course be with a bang. Finale episode Hell Bent sees the Doctor finally make his return his home planet of Gallifrey - an event that has been years in the making and (with the exception of a few little detours) a first for the modern iteration of the franchise. The episode also serves as our proper goodbye to Clara Oswald , with actor Jenna Coleman having stepped down from her role as companion after serving for an nearly three years. The episode was once again directed by Rachel Talalay , and of course written by show runner Steven Moffat.

So here we have it, after 5 years of Russel T Davies being head writer for the relaunched Doctor Who and David Tennant wowing us as the 10th incarnation of the Time Lord, its time to say goodbye to them both in the 2 part Christmas/New Year's special "The End of Time", also featuring John Simm's incarnation of the Master as Bernard Cribbins as Wilfred Mott. Since the episodes have only just aired and there's plenty of plot details availible on wikipedia I'm going to skip outlining the story and move straight onto my thoughts of it all, because there's a lot of them.... Part One I may aswell get this out of the way first, this was without a doubt one of the worst episodes of new Who I've seen (okay, it's not quite as bad as 'Love and Monsters' , but given the hype behind EoT this felt a whole lot more grim and underwhelming). From the Master being magically resurrected by the Cult of Saxon and having what can only be described as super power...
