I will say, while not a masterpiece, this is the first truly great story of Doctor Who since... probably the 14th Doctor era. For some context, I do majorly like the original The Daleks' Master Plan. It is certainly in my top ten favorite Hartnell stories. It does have some flaws (mainly in the second half) but it overall a great story. I like how this story doesn't try to be better than the original, just a different interpretation of such events. With that, it is also not worse than the original, because despite having this template, it has enough original plot that makes this a worthwhile watch. I thought everyone did a really great job. Except Ace Bhatti as The Doctor. I'm sorry, I really want to like him, I really do but he just seems like a poor man's Fourth Doctor. I understand why they did this, but it just seems like a corporate decision and Bhatti is permanently stuck in this empty shell of what a Doctor should be. He's not bad, nor my least favorite Doctor (that honor still goes to Richard E. Grant). He's just really generic and leaves little impact. I thought Suranne Jones as Sara was excellent. Can't hold a candle to Jean Marsh, but she was still great. The stuff with The Monk (The Nun?) is really good, I like Jo Brand in the role. Probably my least favorite version of the character, but to be fair, Peter Butterworth, Graeme Garden, and Toby Jones were all fantastic. The Phaedra and Restoration stuff was a tad confusing, but still an intriguing mystery, and the end result was a great cliffhanger for the Centenary Special. I was upset that Jean Marsh didn't have a bigger role because it seemed like they were teasing something greater with her character. I also like and didn't like how these events happening twice was never really brought up. It's possible that it was, but it was knee deep in the Restoration stuff that I need to probably re-read it. I like how they didn't explain why this happened twice because it makes it all the more intriguing, but also didn't because it comes across as confusing. I know that I'm probably missing something, and I apologize, but at points I seemed kinda lost. With that, I only have a few qualms with this, and despite this, I majorly loved this story. I thought the performances were great, the Daleks were properly threatening, the story intrigued me despite being confusing at points, the modern elements and original story components were seamless and intertwined beautifully, I thought Raleigh was okay here, and overall, I thought it was very well done, and Moore had a proper comeback to the Doctor Who franchise. Although now, I do kind of wish he was showrunning the new BBC Three show instead of... ugh... Steven Moffat... 9/10

I really enjoyed the final episode of The Daleks' Master Plan: it had good action; a satisfying and dark ending to the story and great action scenes. Also glad that they cleared up the confusion on what the end goal is. So overall; a solid conclusion to the first serial.

Hi! Can't wait for WIDWWA to come back. I loved the Daleks' Master Plan so I'm very excited to see what else you have in store. Can I ask if we'll be getting a new Doctor soon. If so I think it should be Ncuti Gatwa. Unless you have already picked someone else then you should go with them. I guess.

I was quite shocked to see that King Charles was in the trailer for the new series of Doctor Who: Adventures. I don't think that you should be writing such vile figures as the King into WIDWWA. There is simply no reason he had to be in it and you're simply just shoving your monarchy loving agenda down all our throats. It was bad enough when you had Michelle Gomez playing the Queen before. Please don't do anything like this again or you may lose yet another WIDWWA fan. Apart from that look forward to new episodes.
