Doctor Who Series 9 Reviews #3: The Witch's Familiar

The Witch's Familiar by Steven Moaffat

The second of a two parter which continues in the events from Magician's Apprentice.

This story is far worse than it's predecessor and like most Moffat two parters, he makes the first part have a impossibly good ending which can't be solved in a good way.

The Magician's Apprentice/The Witch's Familiar: 77.74

The Witch's Familiar was much worse than The Magician's Apprentice but again by ranking doesn't see it that way.
