It all feels exactly like things these characters would be doing. Jenny infiltrating another dodgy organisation. Each character feels exactly like they did on television, as if no time has passed since we last saw them in ‘ Deep Breath’. It feels so effortless that he seems to have been writing for them for years. Morris has a fantastic handle on the gang.

Morris keeps the gang separated for the first few scenes making sure each character gets enough to do on their own before bringing them all together for the remaining bulk of the adventure. 1.1 The Cars That Ate London! by Jonathan Morrisįrom the opening moments it is clear that this is going to be a strong pilot adventure.
