- I get a feeling we're going to see that mysterious woman at the church again.
- The letters in the companion actor's name get out of the way of the TARDIS. They're sensible, I see.
- Ncuti Gatwa has a very different energy about him to David Tennant or the other Doctors. Which is of course a good thing. He's got a strong heroic vibe and is a fast talker as well, which are good Doctor traits to have.
- Millie Gibson as Ruby - bit early to say if I like her. She feels generic RTD companion to me, but she does have the whole "foundling" back story. She does a decent enough job though.
- A new sonic screwdriver and those special gloves. See they're trying to sell more merchandise.
- The Disney budget is clearly displayed on the screen - they'd never have this many goblins in the old days.
- Goblins have fallen rather out of the popular mainstream in the last few decades and I'm not sure this will do much to bring them back; they don't really do that much that makes them a real threat bar "pranks".
- Most of the goblin musical bit was released on YouTube before the episode along with an accompanying single on Spotify. It's a highlight of the episode, which isn't saying a great deal for the overall quality.
- The rules of time travel have never been consistently applied in this show, that's for sure.
- Suspect we'll be seeing Mrs. Flood again.
Conclusion
A fairly mediocre episode, saved by the quality of its leads.
6/10
