Death in Heaven ends series 8 with Cybermen in the graveyards and Missy loose. Fitting but depressing, with a couple of bits that jarred for me.

Dark Water kills Danny and finally unmasks Missy, but for me the creepy 3W skeletons can’t save a dishonest volcano twist and a messy finale opener.
In the Forest of the Night covers London in trees overnight. Breathtaking to look at, sharply written, but one Doctor Who fairytale too many for me.
The Caretaker sends the Doctor undercover at Coal Hill for a funny sitcom hour, but the Skovox Blitzer barely registers next to Danny and Clara.
Time Heist is a great Doctor Who heist caper, but the time travel gets in the way and the Doctor and Clara get lost behind their guest stars.
Robot of Sherwood sends the Doctor and Clara to a Robin Hood who shouldn’t exist: a clever, funny one-off, with robot knights and a spoon fight.
Into the Dalek is a tight, satisfying Doctor Who hour with a Fantastic Voyage twist, but the Daleks end up as props.
