10/10 what will probably get to 9/10 once I watch it again. Can't believe Moffat hit the jackpot with three specials in a row after the disappointments that came before. (except Christmas carol of course)
And while we are rating the episodes I rewatched Tom Baker's first story earlier (Robot) - 7/10 -

'I have a no problem with difference of opinion' then proceeds to contradict that fact immediately by lambasting people who don't agree with him.
Let's roll some tits up the flagpole and see if anyone gets wood. -

It's a fact that this episode was lame, not an opinion.
Toby Maguire Peter Parker recycle, old plot (aliens of london) recycle, and a lack of development anywhere. People need to stop waving the opinion flag to defend utter trash. -

7.5/10
I was very pleasantly surprised as I'd been a bit doubtful after the trailer and what I thought was a crappy superhero name. I'd forgotten that Doctor Mysterio was what they call the Doctor in Mexico (which Capaldi loves, apparently) - I fell for Moffat's misdirection again!
Nardole was improved, which is just as well seeing as he appears to be in some of the next series. He didn't annoy me at all, in fact he was a little endearing at times ("ooh, elephant"
).
The displacement-torture of Mr Huffle was inventive and the Reeves-era Superman refs were affectionate.
Not brilliant, but very enjoyable nevertheless. -

Utter rubbish. I was cringing most of the time and felt embarrassed watching it with my family. Terrible writing. If this was a superhero movie it would probably be the worst of the plot. The alien threat hardly existed. Weird bald man was terrible as predicted. How the hell is that piece of turd getting positive reviews? Are Doctor Who critics so easily pleased?

4/5 - Above average.
Unusually, I rather enjoyed this Christmas serial. It was by no means perfect and still had its fair share of little irritations, but on the whole, I liked it nonetheless. I've always enjoyed superhero related stories and this one was no exception.
