Dominic Maxwell Times (UK) Peter Davison found new richness in the role. Sylvester McCoy added gravitas. Their quieter moments were at a premium in a show that didn’t really earn its reflections on the passing of time. Rated: 3/5 Oct 25, 2022 Full Review Rebecca Nicholson Guardian It rolls through this meaty story -- or more accurately, several stories that eventually converge -- with Whittaker’s trademark energy and a just-right lightness of touch. Rated: 4/5 Oct 25, 2022 Full Review Michael Hogan Daily Telegraph (UK) No fewer than seven Time Lords and a blue box full of companions waved off Jodie Whittaker’s incarnation in style. It made for an electrifying thrill-ride of non-stop surprises. Rated: 4/5 Oct 25, 2022 Full Review Emmet Asher-Perrin Tor.com And finally we arrive at her ending. After a revival at the hand of the person who loves her most, moments of engineering brilliance (one of her finest traits), and another TARDIS tutoring session, the Doctor saves the day. Jan 18, 2023 Full Review David Hogan hoganreviews.co.uk The Power of the Doctor was a really fun 70 minutes… if you’re a classic Doctor Who fan. If you’re just in it for the Thirteenth Doctor’s finale you may leave disappointed. Rated: 4/5 Nov 21, 2022 Full Review Kevin Carr Fat Guys at the Movies This has decent crossover and fan-service appeal, but it skimps on some emotional moments for the exit of Jodi Whitaker from the role. Rated: 3/4 Nov 4, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

M W Oh how the mighty have fallen. Make Doctor Who great again. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/09/25 Full Review Philip D The only reason I keep watching Dr Who is to see how bad it can get and this is probably the worst Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/25 Full Review Jon H Don't get me wrong, there is so much to dislike about this episode but what makes it a fist pumping success are the homages to the past Doctors and companions. And it is truly a delight to see Janet Fielding and Sophie Aldred given great material to work with - along with the lovely sign off post credit sequence. Shame Jodies' Doctor and companions are so terrible and the Master so ridiculously over the top! And the plotting is ridiculous, as if the author had scribbled it out in half an hour! Really really glad this marks the end of show runner Chris Chibnalls' horrible experiment Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/24/24 Full Review Carol P What is this? This is terrible! I miss the original! It just keeps getting worse! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/18/24 Full Review Arran B This isn’t even doctor who anymore Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/15/24 Full Review Rilf Danielson D Horrible and insulting.
