With "Space Babies", there's a sense that everyone's settling into their new shoes. Ncuti Gatwa will be a brilliant Doctor, and I'm sure Millie Gibson will become a memorable companion but, in this first episode, they're not one hundred per cent convincing. I remember feeling the same way when Peter Capaldi first appeared - he's settled into the role by the second episode and never disappointed.
This is a silly, fun episode and it'll be interesting to see how viewers react to its light content. I have to confess, I enjoyed it. The episode feels like a reboot after the Chibnall era, and a welcome one at that.
7 out of 10.
