I don’t agree with this. She grows over the season, and her story in 73 Yards is great.

I’m not sure what growth that is. I can’t honestly see anything different about Ruby from beginning of season to end, other than she now knows who her birth mother is. I agree that she is great in 73 Yards, but that didn’t seem to have any lasting effect on the character, not even remembering anything significant about that experience aside from a vague familiarity with the name Roger ap Gwilliam. For the vast majority of her time, she’s just “yes, Doctor” and goes along with whatver he does or says until she decides to leave to stay with her family. The only other thing I can think of about her is that she’s musically inclined and plays in a band with friends we never saw again beyond her first episode.

Belinda, on the other hand and to get back on track, is much more promising so far, even if a lot of the character beats are things we’ve seen before.

We now have a full transcript of the episode (I take Chakoteya’s transcripts, with permission, and edit them in ways which I think improve them), as well as 7 quotes from this episode :blush:

Loved it. Solid 8/10 for me. Maybe even 9/10. I liked Space babies last year , but this epiosde was even better than that one for me. love this era.

Yeah, there have definitely been times when Chakoteya’s transcripts could use improvement, or less footnotes, at least


Still really useful, though.

The notes that provide extra detail are nice to have. The occasional jokes and comments about the story are more hit or miss. Sometimes funny, other times not as much.

Also I fix loads of typos :sweat_smile:

I don’t see that many, and I use them for reference all the time.

I fixed a few in this one alone, and also when the site was new and I didn’t have much to do (happier times
) I would watch an episode and read the transcript at the same time, and note there were lots of slight wording mistakes.

But anyway I’m not complaining, it’s an excellent resource, I just hate things being wrong.

While it is flawed, I didn’t hate this episode. 8/10 for me.

Just seen the director of this ep is back for Lucky Day this season! Really enjoyed the direction in this ep. He also did A Good Man Goes to War!

idk if any of you care about this but Robot Revolution got 2.05M viewers overnight,so far the lowest overnight ratings ever.

Does that include streaming views?

We talked about this a while back.

People don’t watch TV live anymore. It was one of the most-watched programmes of the day. The numbers don’t mean a lot.

Wait a week for the iPlayer numbers but also remember Disney don’t give out numbers.
