“Stories are where memories go when they’re forgotten.”
Series 9 of Doctor Who may have just been a collection of stories, but it’s not going to be forgotten anytime soon, instead living long in the memory. The reason for this is because, quite simply, it’s one of the best series of the show in years (the best since Matt Smith’s first, Series 5, I would say).
Peter Capaldi really grew into the role this year, showcasing a full range of acting abilities, from Funny Doctor to Sad Doctor via Angry Doctor, with episode 11, Heaven Sent, representing a high-point for both his tenure and the show as a whole. Jenna Coleman, who some fans complained took on the main role last year, matched him every step of the way as she went out on a very emotional high-note.
Along the way the show was packed full of references to the past,...

Like a lot of the best Doctor Who episodes, Series Nine closer Hell Bent was one that totally subverted our expectations. After that terrific cliffhanger at the end of Heaven Sent, we were anticipating an episode all about a grieving Doctor ready to unleash his fury on the Time Lords. Well, that is sort of what we got but it only really took up half the episode.
Instead, the finale eschewed a big action-packed climax for a poignant farewell to Jenna Coleman’s Clara Oswald, who was saved from death and given a new lease of life, albeit one without the Doctor. Or a pulse…
It also found time to wrap up the loose ends of this series, including the mystery of the Hybrid and the true reason the Doctor left Gallifrey. Or did it? Actually, we’ve still got a fair few unanswered questions after watching this finale.

Doctor Who, Series 9, Episode 10, “Face the Raven”
Written by Sarah Dollard
Directed by Justin Molotnikov
Series 9, Episode 11–12, “Heaven Sent” and “Hell Bent”
Written by Steven Moffat
Directed by Rachel Talalay
The curtain closes on Doctor Who series nine with the show’s first three-parter since series three’s Master-centric finale, “Utopia”/“The Sound of Drums”/“Last of the Time Lords”, and while it’s not perfect, the extended finale is a fitting end to what has been one of NuWho’s most consistent seasons. The end of series three is not one of the better Who multi-part stories, starting strong before fizzling out spectacularly (let’s take a moment to remember The Tenth Doctor shriveling into GollumDoctor before becoming floating JesusDoctor. Now to piggy back off of The Twelfth Doctor’s memory wipe…), and perhaps that’s why showrunner Steven Moffat wisely avoids a traditional multi-part structure with these episodes.
