Doctor Who Reviews Series 9 #12: The Final Continues: Heaven Sent
Heaven Sent by Steven Moaffat
Heaven Sent is the second of a three part story which serves as the final for Series 9. It features Peter Capaldi on his own and features the return of Gallifrey. The episode was longer at 55 minutes in length.
Series 9 has another attempt at a new concept, this time the Doctor on it' own. It wasn't perfect and quite confusing but the ending was very, very good.
Doctor Rating
Doctor Rating: 10/10
Absolute perfection
Enemy Rating
The Veil: 9/10
Creepy but the fact he kept on coming back to do the same thing each time was very repetitive.

Scariness: 10/10
Continuity: 6/10
Humour: 3/10
Total: 37/50
Humour wasn't the intention so it isn't the episode's fault. Continuity is low because I thought they rapped the Hyprid story-arc to quickly.

Doctor Who Series 9 Reviews #11: Face the Raven: The Final Begins Part 1
Face the Raven by Sarah Dollard
Face the Raven is the 10th episode of the main run of Series 9. It is the first part of a three part final. It features a reappearance of Rigsy, Ashilda, Ood, Judoon, Cybermen, Silurians, Sontarans and Ice Warriors. It also features the death of Clara Osworld, who has been a companion since 2012.
This episode had a good idea and Clara's exit had such a big impact because it was done in a less epic way to usual, however it was not unexpected to me but many non-whovians, who did not watch the Graham Nortern Show would have been surprised.
Doctor Rating
12th Doctor: 10/10
Top acting from Peter Capaldi and he was written very well.
Companion Rating
Clara Osworld: 10/10
Jenna Coleman has really started to become Clara, shame that this was her final appearance.
Enemy Rating
The Raven: 8/10
A Good idea about an animal that eats souls through time and space but it was a raven which isn't the most scariest thing in the world.
Story Rating
Story: 8/10
Scariness: 6/10
Seriousness: 9/10
Humour: 7/10
Continuity: 7/10
Total: 37/50
The reason why Seriousness didn't have a full 10/10 is because it was not very serious until the end. Continuity, was graded lower than expected is because although they had many past enemies the cybermen being there made no sense especially when he was being chased by the raven.

Doctor Who Series 9 Reviews #'9: The Zygon Inversion
The Zygon Inversion by Steven Moaffat and Peter Harness
The concluding part of a two part adventure by Peter Harness, this time joined by Steven Moaffat. It features the return of the Zygons and the UNIT Team.
Last week I was blown away with the best episode since the 50th. This week's episode was still very good but was not at the same standard. However the result may be different my Ranking out of 10. Due to a lot of my scores not reflecting my actual feeling I will do a sheet of a score out of 10 at the end of the series.

Peter Harness has returned with a much better script than his first Kill the Moon. This episode was the best episode since Day of the Doctor, which was the 50th
