I was actually looking for a decent pic of the pterodactyl but couldn't find one then noticed the Deep Breath beast so went with that instead.

There's a promo pic of the pterodactyl attacking Pertwee but the ones i saw were really poor quality.

No idea what it means, or what it is referring to

Can't lie. I thought that was pretty good.

One or two glaring things aside (How did she power a sonic screwdriver and the fact the role of the Doctor was seemingly written for Matt Smith) - Yeah, not bad. Chibs killed a character off i thought would be a semi regular which worked well - something Moff never did.

Quite a decent alien creature with a nice sideline in displaying trophies.

I need to see her with a TARDIS and if being called Doctor suits her though.

I'm still watching it on iPlayer but I'm enjoying it and I liked her, but a little early to judge what her doctor is going to be like by one episode.

I really enjoyed it and thought Jodie did a really decent job, quite dark in places , well shot and liking what i heard of the theme music, quite retro in style.
