The end of Doctor Who series 10 is just the beginning, with that last minute cliffhanger setting viewers up deliciously for the upcoming Christmas special – and Peter Capaldi’s final episode as the Doctor.

But before we get too far ahead of ourselves, shall we just take a moment to appreciate the complex, emotional brilliance of that final episode?

First off, there was Bill, and her beautiful is-it-really-the-end ending, reuniting with her girlfriend Heather from the very first episode of series 10.

If this really is the last Doctor Who has seen of Pearl Mackie, then she deserves her place in Who history.

Tears are hope. Bye Bill, you were brave, funny and one of the best companions by The Doctor side. #DoctorWho pic.twitter.com/P0lzN2M3SB

#DoctorWho I love that the master is so narcissistic he's attracted to himself there should have at least been a kiss

They used to say that 'your' Doctor was the one you grew up watching. Mine is now Peter Capaldi. Truly fantastic #DoctorWho #ThankYouPeter
