There was a real pathos as the Doctor imparted his philosophical life lessons under a beautiful blanket of stars, and a genuine tenderness to the way he reflected on his long life. Smith bounced off the baby superbly, with the nursery scene in particular standing out as one of his strongest emotional scenes to date.
While Craig reigned in the slapstick to less-punchable effect, it was little Stormy who stole the show. Craig fan or not, Smith and Corden have undeniable chemistry, and while adopting Craig as a full-time companion would wear thin very, very quickly, his appearance here brought a much-needed fraternal and relatable warmth to the Doctor in his final hours. Roberts cleverly and swiftly dispatched with Craig's wifely companion, and threw in the amusingly emotional curveball of Craig's newborn 'Alfie' - or, as he preferred to be known, Stormageddon (and if that doesn't work its way into next year's Geeks Most Popular Baby Name list, we'll eat our Sonic Screwdriver). While The Lodger's writer Gareth Roberts returned to script a sequel to the Doctor's greatest bromance, the silliness was pared down enough to craft a sentimental story that was allowed enough room to breathe and explore the Doctor's newfound guilt and ever-approaching mortality. Cue the Doctor's whimsical arrival and a coincidental attack on Craig's local department store by one of the Timelord's oldest foes, the Cybermen. While Craig bagged the girl of his dreams and a new baby to match, he's still struggling to assert himself. With the Doctor on a self-professed 'farewell tour', he couldn't help but call in on his former flatmate Craig (a refreshingly restrained James Corden). So with only one episode left until what's sure to be an action-packed, dramatic spectacular against everyone's favourite amnesiac aliens, the Doctor awash in a sea of enforced emotional detachment and in serious need of some humanising lovin', a return visit doesn't seem that out of place after all. 2010's fluffy and frivolous tale may have polarised fans with its attempt to overly humanise the Doctor (nothing like a bit of Sunday afternoon football to bring even the most spectacularly intergalactic of figures down to Earth), but it also subtly sewed the seeds for this season's Big Bads, The Silence.
