Honestly, whatever you think of the episode… WHAT A SCENE. Over five decades of Doctor Who history (Whostory?) packed into a few seconds. With the theme tune! I loved it to pieces.
So being me I’ve gone through it frame by frame to pick out everything that appeared. (This gets pretty long, as you may have expected, sorry)

Praxeus?Nikola TeslaQueen of the SkithraA DregThe TARDIS on the ruined Gallifrey…explosion?A Dalek, I think the one from Resolution?Oh yeah, it must be.Well since we seem to be going backwards I guess this is a shot from the very forgettable Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos?Grace!The fam in It Takes You AwayOne of the witches from The Witch Hunters (I think)The wedding scene in Demons of the PunjabThe Kerblam ManThe PtingA scene from Arachnids in the UKA scene from Rosa (also, what a great shot)The Doctor finding the TARDIS in The Ghost Monument…I THINK (without having the sound on) that this is the bit where the Doctor hears “The Timeless Child” for the first timeTim ShawThe Doctor picking her outfit in The Woman Who Fell to EarthOnto pre-2018 stuff!
