Trivia
This feature length special is a major milestone in the history of the show. It marks the Centenary anniversary of the BBC, it is the 300th televised Doctor Who story, and it's the penultimate broadcast leading up to the 60th Anniversary special(s).

Goofs
The traitor Dalek has a visible bit of damage on the upper right side of its eye stalk, however, in one closeup (after The Doctor has arrived to speak with it in the magma caves), its eye stalk is completely intact. A closeup of a random Dalek seems to have been substituted instead of the damaged traitor Dalek.

Quotes

The Master: A man's allowed to experiment.

Crazy credits

Not Bad. Nice end to a rough few years

I really enjoyed this end to Jodie's tenure, and was surprised by the speed with which the story started to wrap up, with a departure only a few minutes in.

The remainder featured a cast which was by no other name, Exceptional, and a perfectly twisted trio of Classic Baddies at their very best/worst. All the characters fulfilled their expectations and More, and seeing old with new was as always a real thrill for fans of both OG and Reboot.

The last third was a tad slow, and I didn't think the final conversation of the Dr with the person it was with, did any sort of Justice nor gave any sort of closure, which was annoying at best, lazy writing at worst.

But then the end scene... oh f me Wke, this was Brilliant! Can't wait for Season 14.
