Not as good but - best companion ever; Bill is a smash and has brought Capaldi to life. The story was weak though.

BBC should put it on their kids channel or on tea time during the week.

The best companion ever is Jo Grant.
(My super crush when I was at school)

Anyone who doesn't know who Jo Grant is, cannot be a true fan of Dr Who.

I remember her well, Paul, although I must declare that I preferred her predecessor Dr Liz Shaw, who only did one season (Jon Pertwee's first).

That said, I really love Pearl Mackie's portrayal of Bill Potts and I agree with JK that she's bringing Peter Capaldi's Doctor to life. I rather enjoyed this second episode, too, because it had pace and lacked the labyrinthine tedium of Moffatt's earlier approach from Matt Smith onwards).
