I really enjoyed Knock Knock .... until the ending. Up until then, it had been gripping, scary and with a truly memorable and eerie creation in Eliza.
It wasn't so much the 'twist' more the prolonged scene itself and of course the saving of all the dead characters - a habit in Moffat's Who that is getting tiresome, to say the least.
So, a really good story, let down by the ending. Pity.

Yes, i know for a fact.... Adric is in the vault.
You know Dem, this wouldn't surprise me!
Perhaps Moffat's final scene could have Capald's Doctor going back in time and saving / reviving every single character who has died in the entire history of Who, taking them all aboard the Tardis and then dropping them off on Planet Happiness. Or something.

Over on Gallifrey Base, someone is running a thread listing every death (human or otherwise) in Nu-Who. The total (starting at 'Rose' and continuing up to [and including] 'Knock Knock') currently stands at 1,000,000,100,010,179,535,649

However, this includes things like 20 billion Daleks (as mentioned in 'Day Of The Doctor'), 32,000,000,000 humans that were killed by the Dalek fleet in 'The Parting of the Ways', the population of New Earth (estimated at 49,500,000,000) as mentioned in 'Gridlock' and one alien space pig, killed in 'Aliens Of London'!

It's not so much number of deaths more that Moffat can't allow people to die.

Look how many times he resurrected Rory. It became silly.

Apparently it's a Reeltime production

Three disc, limited edition release including 'The White Witch Of Devil's End' which was previously announced as a stand-alone release, but subsequently cancelled:

"Damaris Hayman reprises her role as Miss Hawthorne from "The Daemons".

With a blend of dramatic monologue enhanced by visualisations and sound design to develop and tell the stories, this drama is an anthology of tales following the magical life of Olive, from childhood to her final days as protector of Devil's End. Drawing on a rich heritage and appreciation of witchcraft and folklore, the stories bring her history to life, pitting her against vampire, succubus, fae, daemonic influence and more. As guardian of Devil's End, she must do whatever is necessary to protect the village...but what happens when she reaches the end of her life? Who will protect the villagers then?

The writers of this anthology are Sam Stone, Jan Edwards, David J Howe, Raven Dane, Debbie Bennett and Suzanne J Barbi
"

'Return To Devil's End' was a direct-to-video reunion documentary originally released in 1993 featuring Jon Pertwee, Nicholas Courtney, Richard Franklin, John Levene and Christopher Barry returning to the village of Aldbourne, and reminiscing about the filming of 'The Dæmons'.

A third disc of 'extra features'. Release date is November 17th, 2017, so it is too early to comment on what these extra features are likely to be
