It’s also that even rarer thing in 21st century Who: a finale as exciting as it is satisfying. Satisfying not simply in terms of the immediate plot, … >
If you’re reading this, then you’re on the Internet. And if you’re on the internet, there’s no way you’ve managed to avoid the revelations of ‘Dark Water’.
