I really liked Spyfall, especially part 1, but I agree that what I’m imagining is maybe a bit different from what was shown on screen.

In particular I’d have liked to see more of the Victorian and Paris scenes, and more interaction from Ada and Noor. I suppose this is somewhere where a Target novelisation, perhaps along the lines of what Steven Moffat did with his Target version of Day of the Doctor, could expand and fill in gaps nicely. And since the BBC are still producing new Target novelisations I’m crossing fingers for this one.

When I watched the episode I didn’t mind the perception filter cancelling. But afterwards, thinking about it more, I felt extremely uncomfortable with it.

I’m delighted with the new Master, and think his scenes with the Doctor were highlights. Again crossing fingers, this time that we may get more of that pair this season, perhaps in the finale.

Also I really, really liked the music. Segun Akinola is doing an excellent job. Again.
