“Say something nice” (or not) about the Series 8 finale in our episode discussion!
Not great. Especially when if you take into consideration End of Time which reached 11/12 million, making Death in Heaven sixth, not fifth.
The Admin probably consider End of Time a Special, rather than an end of Series episode.
