Read what the critics and fans had to say about The Lie of the Land, starring Peter Capaldi as the Twelfth Doctor, Pearl Mackie as Bill Potts, Matt Lucas as Nardole and Michelle Gomez as Missy below.
“We also get the best Pearl Mackie performance yet…. Mackie conveys fright, bewilderment and sorrow in a very, very rounded piece of acting work.”

“The Missy scenes are perfectly-pitched and while the Doctor's turncoat moment is unconvincing on a plot level, it's powerfully performed.”

“… satisfyingly wrapping up the overall story while also charting some new ground, providing more than a couple of thrills and head-fakes”

“The Lie of the Land brings the biggest story arc of the season to a close with mostly satisfying results, opening the door for more involvement from Missy, and proving that Bill can determine the course of the narrative in more ways than one.”

“Michelle Gomez remains a delight, but her different role this year continues to allow new subtlety to the trickiest of characters to get right – the supervillain.”

”Capaldi plays the conflict beautifully, almost entirely in the eyes. Watching him, I’m painfully aware that we only have five more Twelfth Doctor episodes remaining.”
