After a long – and we do mean long – wait, Doctor Who finally returned to our screens today with its season 12 premiere and suffice it to say, it didn’t disappoint.

So, clearly the fans are ecstatic about this, but how did Dhawan do in the role? Well, pretty good if you ask us.

Some might say he’s a bit too traditional, but we’re certainly excited to see how he develops from here.

Tell us, though, did you tune in for the Doctor Who premiere today? If so, what did you think of the new Master and the episode as a whole? Take to the comments section down below and let us know. And be sure to tune back in on January 5th for part 2 to see where Whittaker and co. go next.
