BONUS: The Magician’s Apprentice – Instant reaction review

from Who Back When | A Doctor Who Podcast · host WhoBackWhen.com

An old foe, older friends and a creepy guy entirely made of snakes. • • • Doctor Who returned to our screens today with Series 9 and "The Magician's Apprentice", and along with the rest of the world, Who Back When sat down to watch it unfold. The Magician’s Apprentice treats us to the origins of the Doctor’s arch-nemesis (shhh, quiet Missy!) and the doctor is faced with a difficult choice: to change time or save his friends. This episode was by consensus the best season opener Who Back When has ever seen. Enjoy. We live-tweeted the event and connected with Whovians around the globe. Thank you, All, for taking part in the conversation! * * * Check out WHOBACKWHEN.COM for more information, Doctor Who TV Serial and Audiobook reviews, ratings and ramblings, and loads more podcast episodes.
