Despite the inevitable delivery of the 'feel good factor' at the end... ahem... I have to confess to being constantly surprised at very turn by this story. Decades of watching Who has conditioned me into expecting unexpected last-minute ways out, so it's quite a shock when the worst case scenario turns out to be the solution taken. Bleak, but all the more affecting because of it. I have to ask though, Jack is clearly and absolutely impossible to kill, but wouldn't he still be at least miffed with the people who put him through unspeakable agony while trying? Maybe immortality makes you infinitely forgiving, but I know I'd be a lot less understanding as soon as I came back together again! And isn't the Doctor going to get a shock next time he turns up to 're-fuel'? But as 'Gwys' make their way down that dark Cardiff hillside, I have to conclude that the future of the show concerns me far less than the fact that it seems to have gone out on such an unimaginable high. Nice review, Peter!
