Is 'Sleep No More' Really THAT Bad?

- 'Sleep No More' is widely hated by Doctor Who fans. But does Doctor Who's only found footage episode really deserve this negative reputation?
Every now and then, there is a Doctor Who episode that doesn't quite hit the mark. From the moon being an egg to sentient paving slabs, these episodes are infamously despised. But do these episodes deserve to be held in such low regard? In this video essay series, I shall be giving some of these episodes a second chance and seeing if they can be redeemed.

This episode is so meta that people in fact didn't watch it, following Rasmussen's advice. Yet another stroke of genius from Gatiss
"Gatiss was trying to make a Mark"... come on man :)
I think I would have liked this episode if it focused on the sleep machine being used in society, but instead it focused on the monsters
Yeah that's a good point. I've always thought it could be revisited in a future episode since it's implied the signal got out at the end of Sleep No More. Maybe that follow-up could focus more on the sleep machines?
I liked the feeling of being trapped there with it, and also trying to prevent it reaching society in general.
A second episode with them in, and no one rising what happened on the space station would then have more tension because we know what they're up to, and maybe we could see our heroes try to warn people but no one is listening.
Perhaps they could even lose in the end and humans would have to seal off the colony it has infected it something.
It explains WHY it focuses on the monsters, at the end. Hint: there are no monsters.
Yeah i personally feel that Dr who has a problem with always having to include a monster in stories that already have an interesting premise
I LOVE how no one sees this is as a secret episode of inside no.9. It's got all the hallmarks! One of the main writers starring as a character in-episode, the redherring disguised by the premise, the use of a unique media to portray the episode.
Even the placement of the episode, the titlecardless intro and the ending all show the .50 cal sized bullet giveaway this isn't really a doctor who episode.
Oh. My. God you're right!
It’s also the 9th episode of the 9th series
@@evanmccreesh268 I hate you now
This is actually one of my top favorite episodes! I had no idea people hated it!
same!! i was also surprised when nightmare in silver was put on this playlist because i really enjoy nightmare in silver too!
I think people mainly hate it because of really silly monsters - it's difficult to take a monster made of bogeys seriously. But the overall idea is really engaging! I find that, in general, a lot of DW episodes would have been better without any monster in them at all.
For me, it was the camera angle thing, the ending that made no sense and the concept of not sleeping causing this is a bit weird. Other than that I agree it's great, but still for me it's in the middle overall
@@user-pu2jr1nq5g But we've had statues, scarecrows, sofas, christmas trees, bins, mold, christmas trees, mannequins, TVs, shadows, cubes, bubble wrap, art, cacti, bubble wrap, birds and even scarves! Cut the monster a bit of slack!
@@lilianderson8256 same
Here's something I didn't realise until I Heard The Doctor say " Instant soldier" again.
The grunts are basically the Sontarans. With this cloning like this, humans are no better then Sontarans. Just extra commentary there.
dang it! It seems like there are too many episodes that are rushed or underwhelming and then you hear they were supposed to be a two parter. Another victim being nightmare in silver. This episode had it been a 2 parter and took time to focus more on the sleep machine and lack of sleep in society
I didn't like this one the first time I watched it, but driving a theme on the way the business world makes sleep deprivation into an ambition contest is one of the hottest takes I've ever seen on Doctor Who and everyone who has ever tweeted about "the hustle" should be required to see it.
Definitely! The scary thing is that if a pod of the type was made in real life, it would be hugely popular because of how it cuts out sleep times. That'd mean companies create policies of mandatory use and you have to work even more to earn your paycheck. It's a full on cyberpunk dystopia
@@HarboWholmes Yes! Dystopia is definitely the right word. I think what drove me to finally appreciate this episode was Doctor Who's history of flirting with dystopia to make thoughtful observations about human beings. The Long Game (which I really enjoyed your video about) is part of that tradition, as is The Beast Below, The Rebel Flesh, The Age of Steel, and Planet of the Ood. They're not always bright and fun-which is the kind of episode that drew me to Who in the first place-but the joy of adventure can't always sustain a massive series like Doctor Who, and once you've been watching for a while, the episodes that confront unpleasant subjects in dark futures are the ones that keep you watching. I'll definitely have to give this one a re-watch: I didn't even notice the interesting way Rasmussen frames the episode the second way through!
Doctor Who always does great dystopian works. It's crazy how dark and sociopolitical it can get without being too obvious about it. The dystopian subtext is definitely the best part about some of the episodes you listed. Episodes like Beast Below really don't get enough credit.
@@HarboWholmes YES YES YES!!! I'm so glad to find another viewer who appreciates these little gems the same way I do!
I wasn't aware people hated it, I liked it on its release.
I really like what the episode is trying to go for, and the narrative and world building are solid enough, but the pacing is weird and the sleep monsters weren't thought through well enough. Maybe if the lack of natural sleep and something done to the brain via the machine, the space station was haunted by manifestations of the dreams and nightmares that were never dreamt. Give us reasons to care about the characters and make the monster of the week a bit higher concept scifi
There are no monsters in the episode.
Never understood the idea of using viewing figures to show quality of a particular episode. Imo the viewing figures mainly reflect the quality of the previous few episodes
It depends. Consolidated figures (7 days on TV plus other platforms) are the most reliable.
@@tuele4302 but still if im watching a show weekly then I dont bother watching an episode or stop watching the show surely thats mainly to do with the quality of the episodes that I did watch.
Or maybe there's just something else on at the same time for an episode that a larger percentage of the population are interested in so casual viewers won't be watching.
@@willbaker6532 But that's just you. We're talking about large sample sizes here. And then there are viewer ratings on places like IMDb. If the ratings and viewing figures consistently head on a downward trajectory, something has gone wrong.
@@tuele4302 yeah but my point is it reflects the quality of the series so far up to that episode or prior series rather than the quality of the actual episode.
For example. I watched Dr who regularly until capaldis first series. I watched all the way up to and including "in the forest of the night" which to me was one of the worst tv episodes I've ever seen. So that means I did not watch "Dark Water" or "Death in heaven" as I gave up on the show
So my total contribution to viewing figures is "1" for the forest and "0" for the finale
So if you were to use viewing figures as a measurement of quality of the episode then from my viewership you would assume I thought the forest was better than the finale because there were more views in my household of the forest than the finale
When in reality it was that i thought the forest and a number of episodes throughout the series were so bad that I just stopped bothering to watch it.
Tooth and claw was the highest viewed episode of Series 2 and to this day is the highest viewed non opening/finale/special of Dr who since it restarted in 2005!!!
Is it the best episode of the series? Probably not.
Did it have a high view count as it was on tv immediately after an FA Cup semifinal between Chelsea and Liverpool which was on the same channel so views were counted for people who didn't change the channel after the football ended? Most likely
Ah, yes, the most common household item: the cube.
It's got Clara and 12 so to me it's a masterpiece
And here's me and my friend who love it and hate it because we found it genuinely terrifying at the end.
Seriously anybody else get a sudden surge of existential dread after watching?
YES, damn it!
You kidding I instinctively checked my eyes a few moments ago just from watching this video!
This was a good episode. I didn't realise some people disliked it
John Lowe Agreed to me it gives off a system shock or alien vibe to me
Thought it was alright
I really liked the episode what bothered me is they set it up like a two parter then just ended on “ let’s go stop them “ and then we had face the raven , we need either an audio episode or something to finish the story cause that’s what made me hate it
Speaking purely as a blind viewer-yes, I am aware of the irony-I love this episode for a few reasons. One, the audio design was awesome since if you listen with headphones, you can sort of tell where everyone is in relation to who we're looking out of. Two, I'd never seen any found footage films, since I don't really watch that genre, so I didn't feel burnt out on it. In fact, I didn't even know it was found footage until I saw videos on why people don't like it. I only feel it suffered from not being given it's two part glory like it should have. And three, I liked the social commentary.
I AM VERY UPSET THAT ANYONE WOULD DISLIKE THE SONG MR.SANDMAN!!
I love this episode. Fucking weird one, but really a good episode. One of Capaldis best episodes imo. It's not as great as Heaven Sent / Hell Bent, but really good
I know, right? Capaldi and Coleman are on fire in this episode. Their performances are top notch. It sucks that the episode has such a bad reputation
I didn't understand the plot when I first saw it. My mom didn't understand the plot when she first saw it. I didn't understand the plot when I second saw it. My mom opted out of watching it the second time with me. I didn't understand the plot the second time. I never watched it in my watch throughs since.
0:43 NOW I know why Reece Shearsmith is in this episode: its s *9* ep *9*
I feel like if the sandmen were more floaty like a sand filled air elemental, cgi instead of suits, they wouldn't be hated nearly as much. However they would have lost some of their symbolism.
I think the episode's biggest problem, is that the things you're saying right now, are poorly explained within the episode. This feels more like a 'look how cool this could have been' rather than a 'this bad episode was actually great'
I just dislike this episode because the logic behind this, not the pod but the soldier themself
"It's too dark"??? 🤣🤣🤣
Why are watching Doctor Who if you're bothered by stuff being dark??
I think it means physically too dark to see, not the theme or episode. I don't mind a dark or a light hearted episode, but I'd like the episode to have the lightning done well enough I can actually see what's going on
@@regiman222 yeah i remember having to position myself in weird way to see the episode despite my phone being on full brightness
@TheFifthWheel I don't think I need to imagine that. I think that's pretty much what I was doing 3 months ago.
I don't remember who I initially said that to, if it was in the video or if it was something in the comments, but yeah, I was being an asshole. Sorry
I remember when I recorded this episode and would watch multiple times before erasing it off the recorder. I had no idea people didn’t like it. I thought the found footage was great here and it never bothered me that much
My only real complaint I had when I saw it first time it aired was , why didn’t they put this on before the zygon story so that it was aired on October 31st/Halloween, it would have fit the episode nicely , oh well is a small nitpick really
I did have found footage fatigue when I first watched it and the song just made me think of the Halloween movie.
Reece shearsmith as well makes a lot of sense since when I watched the episode especially with the twists at the end it very much reminds me of an inside number 9 episode
Most of the ‘most hated’ are actually my favourite, i didnt even know people didnt like them
I personally loved the episode, found the settings very claustrophobic and the ending unexpected and creepy. The monsters are disgusting, but I find that to be a plus, it ads to the overall unsettling atmosphere of the story.
All Gatiss episodes reviewed;
The Unqiet Dead: 7/10
The Idiots Lantern: 5/10
Victory of the Daleks: 8/10
Night terrors: 6/10
Cold War: 8/10
The Crimson Horror: 5/10
Robot of Sherwood: 8/10
Sleep no more: 5/10
Empress of mars: 9/10
A widely hated episode garnering 61% ? Kinda puts season 12 into perspective eh?
I mean, I can get some complaints about it being poorly lit. Didn't help that it came at a time when movies like Fan4stic and Suicide Squad were about to appear where people thought the indoor scenes were poorly lit.
Honestly, this episode reminds me of the 2000's movie The last horror movie where the ending is that all the victims were people who had watched the video and that you, the viewer, are next.
Found Footage is a genre of horror that is cheap to make but easy to do right or dirty. You just need to follow a few rules.
1) Your cameraman is a character. They can be taken out and/or suffer from the outbreak.
2) How did your film get found? Apollo18 was set on the moon so finding the footage would be difficult. Lake Mungo and Mockumentaries have an easy time with this.
3) Who is editing it? In movies like Paranormal activity, there's a lot of editing but it makes you wonder who it's being edited for. It's a similar question to "Why are the cameras on?" Sometimes you can get away with it if it's to show alternate perspectives like in the Rec series and "As above, so Below."
Also, to those who are wondering why the Sandman song is used, can I ask why you're not asking about why the pods are named after a minor God in Greek Mythology?
I swear watching this video series, I’m founding out that some of my favourite episodes are apparently hated in the wider community
I love Sleep No More, and have often spoken about how how much I love it on social media. Easily my favourite episode of Series 9.
I actually really liked this episode when I first watched it. I thought it was the most genuinely terrifying episode of DW since The Empty Child.
Sleep No More is what you'd get if you mixed the first person cameraframing of Aliens, with the questionable moral outlook of Blade Runner and added Doctor Who to it all....Sleep No More is genius and on my first viewing it had me on edge as to when another sandman would appear, its spine chilling I'd prefer Gatiss over Chibnall any day of the week (The reason i like the found footage style in this episode is because it does it right, it doesn't just throw something at the camera and go abloogywoogywo it creates tension as thats what horror stems from)
I like it, I just wish they didn't end it on a cliffhanger
If the opening montage is supposed to be a gallery of the despised episodes, then I feel a lot better about not associating with other Who fans, because most of those clips are from perfectly wonderful episodes.
I don't get the hate for Mark Gatiss. Sure, they're not all classics, but I really loved Victory of the Daleks, Night Terrors, Cold War and Robots of Sherwood. Sleep No More was an episode that I didn't love but definitely enjoyed more than many other episodes during Capaldi's era.
Same here. For me, Gatiss always wrote dependable Doctor Who stories. Nothing earth-shattering, but he could be relied on to produce perfectly decent stories with well-written scripts.
*Gets ad for found footage film*
Harbo Wholmes immediately after: Found footage bad
I agree
You can also say its dark because its hard to open your eyes with the sleep goop
I really liked this episode and never knew it was hated so much, but then I haven't really watched any found footage films.
I do kind of agree with the decision to not make it a two parter, because season 9 was literally just 4 two parters and a three parter, but I would still really like to see a follow up.
(I think that there was going to be a follow up, but Gattis wrote empress of mars instead, I think)
11:00 you forgot the great 2nd doctor villain : argue and seafoam/ bubbles
Dr who: “candy monster”
Everyone: “oh yeah.”
Dr who: “eye booger monster”
Everyone: “wtf! Get that shite out of here!”
I think a two part-,er would have been good. It would have followed the format of the rest of the season and felt less out of place. Here's what they could have done. Second episode focuses on it's spread. Ditch the found footage, (even though I agree it was cool.) It's spread to humanity. The doctor and Clara and trying to figure out what has happened. They go about five years into the future. They do some normal doctor who stuff, solve the mystery in a "dramatic irony," kind of way. Then when all seems lost, Clara sacrifices herself. This eliminates the need for face the Raven, and sets up a possibly better death. I personally think you should have left her dead anyway, but if they want the could still bring her back with the same method used in the finale. There we are. All two part episodes.
*For Decades, Doctor has taken pride in turning everyday thing into terrifying threats*
Have they not watched Power Rangers, Lord Zedd created monsters out of a trophy (PipeBrain/Four Head), Pachinko machine, camera, safety tube, fire, a saw, cactus, Taxi, a dustbin, monkey, lantern, cat and cherry blossoms.
To give credit to mark gaitis (is that how you spell it) i think he does horror very well like look a night terrors that is one of the scariest dr who episodes
I hate this episode simply because its a waste of potential. The reaveal that the eye sand tyrns into sentient monsters is just ridiculous. Would make way more sense if the users of the machie would go insane and turn into a villian that turned so mad it would not be recognizable as human. Perhaps with a slight theme of eye sand, but no more.
I liked it but I didn’t like how it sort of ended on that cliffhanger like the episode had me hooked but it was sort of a letdown when the next episode was face the raven
No criticism on the episode, I think most people just didn’t like it for no reason, by that I mean Mark gatiss isn’t a writer who captures enjoyment, not his fault, they just don’t mix, they use criticism as an excuse, just guessing though.
I think the episode felt like it ended suddenly, and that the episode telling you not to watch it was just stupid downright cringey and that the ending felt like a cop out scratch that the whole episode felt like a cop out and it was immediately retconned
I have an eye deficiency which basically leads to me having wayyyy more like sleep dust than regular people so this one really terrified me
Yes! And, placed as it is, it's a forewarning that the Doctor not only can fail, but has failed, and will fail again (Face the Raven, and Hell bent), because he is NOT a superhero; he is NOT a magical savior of the universe; he is NOT an infallible genius. He's a madman in a box . . . we need reminders of this from time to time. This was a great set-up for the desperate fuck-up of Face the Raven. As an older fan, I really appreciate the way this series so often reminds us, in the midst of fantasy, of the harder truths o reality: you don't always win. You don't always know what the hell is going on around you. You also don't let that stop you, because your effort is what you have to give, even when it's confused and ineffective.
Still, I'd love to see the second part of this story at some future time -- mebbe as a flashback? Or not. As it stands, I think it's a powerful piece in its own right -- just not soppy and sloppy enough for a kiddie series (but then, Capaldi brought us a grown up Doctor, just as promised by Moffat early on -- well, in everything but a normal sex life, but Missy explained all that in "The witch's Familiar".
Wait, Gaitess also wrote "Adventures in Space & Time" which was very good. In fact it was part of the 50th Anniversary specials. It's my favorite episode of his and in no way should be left of this list..
It's not really an episode though. It's a dramatised documentary of the shows beginnings.
@@prcovers8960 True. It's an excellent drama-documentary, but it's not a Doctor Who episode at all.
I loved it the first time I watched it, one of my all-time favorites - and I've been watching for about half a century, now. I think a lot of people that didn't like it, didn't really understand what they saw.
This episode scared me so much that I actually dropped doctor who for 5 years yet it’s one of the most hated episodes of this doctor who.
Nice try, Rasmussen
Why is there a Shintoism symbol on the sleep pods? Shintoists believe that humans aren't evil, and their maliciousness is due to an evil spirit possessing them. Does that symbolise the humans in the pods are being "purified", and the Sandmen are metaphors for "evil spirits" being cast out of them?
Or am I just thinking too deeply into this?
It's the first Doctor Who episode to genuinely freak me out. That Rassmussen twist at the end along with the lack of a genuine conclusion and the Doctor at an utter loss made this, at the time, my favorite episode of Series 9 (until Heaven Sent). It was definitely a highlight among highlights of my favorite series of Modern Who.
10:58 What about Water? Andy Stone is very sad you didn't mention him
I think an episode can be deemed good or bad depending on whether the viewer enjoys it or not. It can weave a clever plot together with a new spin on an old trope but if the audience finds it boring, if they're not invested in the characters or the premise they're not going to like it, they will be indifferent and their assessment will be that it's average at best. I believe that this is the problem with this episode. It can be great from the critical viewpoint of a superfan but the average viewer doesn't necessarily care about the subtle nuances and details like you do - and that isn't a criticism of yourself or the average fan.
This is actually one of my favourite episodes from this era or whatever you would call it
I'm a sucker for zombies on spaceships in horror, I loved this one despite the goofy premise lol
Sleep no more is such a cool episode in my opinion. Perfectly leading to a sequel episode or audio drama that sadly, hasnt come to light yet. Out of all of the mark gatiss scripts, I like 7 of them.
Sleep No More isn't really terrible, it's *clumsy.*
Like so much of the Moffat Era, many different parts of it are quite interesting and well done, but then they utterly fail to do anything that doesn't fall miserably with.
I always liked this one and i thought the twist at the end was pretty shocking. I had no idea until watching a reviewer (not this one) that this episode was actually so hated
I’ve seen this episode about 3 times now and it’s so uncaptivating that I didn’t even know that one person was a genetically engineered grunt
It’s weird, finding out (particularly via this channel - just insomuch as this is a channel I’ve enjoyed watching) that certain episodes are so heavily derided. I mean, that was quite an intro. I’m going to say the answer to the question you pose at the start is:
No. Easily, no. Viewers out there-many humans, in fact-are quite excessively and unnecessarily hateful about a great many things.
“Sleep No More” is a fun episode; and my only real problem with it is that it was the stand-alone episode in a season full of multi-episode stories-hearkening back to the good ol’ days of Classic Who.
Resuming video.
The sleepy dust thing creeped me out when I was younger
I honestly just thought this episode was really boring.
only boring people find things boring
@@elektra81516 ...
@@elektra81516 Going to have to disagree
Yeah, only us interesting people find Love and Monsters interesting...uh...apparently?
@@becauseimapotato7599 I don't mind Love and Monsters, I find it quite enjoyable actually.
Omg people hated it?! I LOVE that one!
I had no idea this episode was disliked so much, I quite liked it. Then again, I'm pretty open to all doctor who episodes pre-chibnal becoming show runner. Not huge on found footage, but the story itself is fine, and I love the concept of the sleep machines. I feel like it could have benefited from being modeled after the long game or the series 6 silence arc, with some bigger alien force manipulating humanity into creating machines that benefit them somehow. Maybe something like the god/parasite from the rings of akhaten, who is feeding of the potential time spent sleeping? I dunno. Great concept, not huge on the monsters, and while I I like the story, it's not the best method of story telling
I don’t understand why people hate it. The idea for the monster is such a good idea. Wish he had a sequel instead of Empress of Mars ( which is good)
I love this episode. I’m also biased though, I may have watched a bootleg a few hours before the premiere with Paul McGann and a room full of Doctor Who fans...
I like a good found footage film from time to time, how do I not remember this episode ??? I have not missed an episode of nuwho since IT started WTF??? I NEED TO WATCH IT
I turned of the video , I need to go watch it , it's got that song sandman in it , how have I not seen this ????
I love all the mark gatiss episodes you listed
The biggest crime of this episode is wasting the talents of Reese Shearsmith
Watch this when it’s 11pm and you have your paranoia on full strength, I couldn’t sleep for a few hours after watching this. I kind of just past out in the end.
I hate this episode for the same reason I hate Blink, the farting alien episode, zygone invasion (and any episode with them), and the gas mask child. They scare the shite out or me. So I hate it for a different reason than people actually hating it. (I love a good scare, but I really hate it as well)
Just realised you don't even have 10k... you deserve like 1m+ man
Thank you for making me want to go back and watch this one again!
Chronicle is a great example of a good-found footage film. It was made with $12 million yet is still a found-footage film. It has some great actors and a sad, but intriguing story. Much like this episode of Doctor Who.
Ngl, after watching the episode I never got the impression that it was about the moral gap between grunts and people, and for that to translate to a real world conflict. If anything I thought it was trying to have me catch on why the project was so deadly and why they should be in so much danger. But I was left confused instead. The rebel flesh did a fantastic job of setting a message, and other episodes did a good job of coming off as scary and psychological horror based. To me this felt like it was going for both so it landed in the middle of not really reaching either goal.
But I’m not a writer so there is probably a lot of key points and details I missed that would have filled in those gaps in my head. But I can’t find many others, irl or online, that like this episode
I just didn't understand how they basically spend the episode trying to escape, but that's it, the threat it still out there and they just leave. Never made much sense to me, unless they save the day off screen?
I can’t wait for your review of the 12th doctor’s series’
honestly I completely forgot this episode existed
Sleep No More is basically Gatiss' way of paying homage to his old buddies, Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton. Nowadays, they are more known for their show Inside No 9, which has a very similar feel to Sleep No More.
But wind the clock back a decade and a half, and they were in the same crew as Gatiss, making shows like The League of Gentlemen and Psychobitches under the name Legz Akimbo Theatre Company.
Shearsmith is playing Rassmussen in Sleep No More and Pemberton played Strackman Lux in Silence In The Library/Forest Of The Dead.
Gatiss has yet to appear in any episode of Inside No 9.
This video was read like an April Fools joke video like the ones that go “WHY KILL THE MOON IS A CINEMATIC MASTERPIECE” or something
It's not an awful story, it had potential, but it's sooo bloody BORNG. And the Sandmen were just a joke! lol.
I mean how the FUCK do people dislike this episode? It’s not Heaven Sent anything but it’s not bad AT ALL. I actively love this episode. I’m sorry but it’s really fucking good.
I wasn't even aware people disliked it... honestly I just didn't watch it because i'm a weakling and the concept scared me too much even though I was in my late teen years at the time of the release.
I also remember that, at the time of its airing, some people were pissed at the placement of the episode in the series, because it came at a time when we knew Clara was going to leave soon and this was one of two episodes (the other being The Woman Who Lived) where little to no space was dedicated to her friendship and overall relationship with the Doctor so close to her departure. Especially to Clara fans, this felt like being robbed of precious time to address the most recent and final developments in their dynamic and being given something entirely different to what was perceived as important. They didn't want a one-shot episode, they wanted something bigger or at least something more closely related to the core of the relationship between Doctor and companion.
3:18 I would be ok if the business part and "it's possible, so people have to do it" (cyberpunk themes) would be emphasized, rather than the standard "changing nature is bad", which is a trope i hate (Lazarus Experiment has the same problem).
11:42 Zombified humans makes more sense, but it's still really cliché than the answer to "what health risks are caused by changing a person's organism" is "zombies!". Zombies are boring and ubiquitous.
13:48 I actually really like episodes were the Doctor doesn't win.
I actually don’t hate kill the moon at all.
This one I think is fine but nothing special.
Kill the Moon didn't crash and burn. It was rescued by the third act which made up for all of the flaws in the first two.
“Sleep no more”
*Intense hollow knight flashbacks*
Literally just saw this episode in the Whollaween marathon a couple of days ago, God I loved this episode it was such a twist realizing what was really going on.
i love so many of these episodes? sleep no more is one of my favourite capaldi episodes
Can you do a defending the despised for adric as companion?
