The official 25th anniv story, as this ep aired on the actual 25th of the show. They SHOULD have used the Dalek story here, as it's superior. There's some nice bits in here, but pic.twitter.com/kCcwuakDMs

it's a bit muddled. The Cybermen are super weak compared to past iterations & the Nazis here are pointless. The Jazz scene at the start was fun. We rarely see fun relaxing scenes. pic.twitter.com/wxwjZJDP2H

This story bugged me because of how easily the Cybermen were dispatched with gold. I know it's an established thing, but they felt so weaker to it than before. Lady Peinforte being pic.twitter.com/k4XoLkVYgQ

out of time felt really weird for a time travel show. All the different parts of this (Nazi, Cybermen, Peinforte) don't seem to gel at all. Cyberman interference with jazz is funny. pic.twitter.com/AFSyeFD3OC

The various bits come together in a scene that claims that Lady Peinforte was going to reveal some massive secret about The Doctor. On screen acting implies that it might be a real pic.twitter.com/qMEDGwJSqR

thing, but in the end it was nothing. I did like the mystery about what the Nemesis statue was, but overall, meh. The Dalek story should have been the 25th anniv story, not this one. pic.twitter.com/ZQZR0xdxhy
