Kerblam! is still one of my favourite DW episode titles of all time.

I really liked this episode.  No, it may not have been talking about important things, like Rosa did, but it was just straight up fun.

There’s been some complaints about the ending of the episode.  Personally, I thought it was a neat twist and didn’t actually detract form the rest of the episode and what it was saying.

Lee Mack was good, if a bit underused.  Julie Hesmondhalgh was, as expected, excellent.

Weaponizing bubble wrap, just before Christmas?  That’s just evil.

The dodgy editing is back.  Particularly in the scene where Yaz is looking for Dan, it looked like she was hunting for herself.

Twirly was absolutely adorable.  I,for one, wouldn’t mind seeing him return in the future.

The fez and the Agatha Christie references are a good example of how to do these things properly.

Next week, Alan Cummings and witches.
