You did a super job wrapping things up! And I'm not just saying that because I have to!

I dunno why, but that felt like a lost David Tennant episode with Capaldi swapped in. I liked it more than I was anticipating, loving the Sherrif and the robots that looked remarkably old series one they revealed their faces. I could have done without the Spoon bit, but Capaldi did his best to sell it.

I'm 100% certain he was flipping off the fact that he had to act out a scene where he fights Robin Hood with a spoon.

It's perfectly fine to say "I don't like him" but "you have to admit he's poo poo" is just asking for a bickerfest.

I guess I hate fun because I thought this was absolute bobbins. At least Ben Miller was enjoying himself.

I liked Capaldi in the first couple of episodes but he was unbelievably one-note 'grumpy old man' here.
Oh it's bobbins all right, but I thought it was very fun bobbins. I loved the Doctor's attitude all the way through of not believing this poo poo for a second, and his glee when the knights in armour turned out to be robots- "now we're getting somewhere!" Shooting the spaceship with a golden arrow to make it fly better was really dumb but then this season opened with a dinosaur the size of Big Ben so this is just going to be the season of running with dumb poo poo I guess.
