Now that ‘Thin Ice’ has thawed, we’re straight into our post-game analysis.
You can read our review here, but we also want to know what you think. So we dived into Twitter to get your reactions…..
Some applauded the early instance of kleptomania.

While some preferred Bill’s ransacking of the wardrobe.
companions dressing up, best part of any episode #DoctorWho

Not to mention the Doctor’s own sartorial selection…
Capaldi needs to rock that top hat for the rest of his life omg. #DoctorWho

His handling of the rubber fish left a few people cold.

Unlike the Doctor’s newfound aversion to tattoos…
Your 3rd incarnation had a tattoo, Doctor. #DoctorWho

Though, given what happened in Sarah Dollard’s previous episode, maybe it’s not surprising…
God bless Sarah Dollard for continuing to make Peter Capaldi say tattoo! #doctorwho@snazdoll

A lot of people were reminded of the Eleventh Doctor’s whale of a tale.
The choices in this episode remind me of the ones within the Star Whale episode. The Beast Below. #DoctorWho

Or other influences…
Knowing nod to conventions of Victorian novels; like all of them, tonight's #DoctorWho ends with a happy–if unlikely–inheritence.

Many appreciated how the episode dealt with race…
"history is a whitewash" TRUE #DoctorWho

When one episode of #DoctorWho set in Regency Britain is more racially diverse than any period drama shown on TV…

The Doctor punched a human for being racist to Bill, FANTASTIC #DoctorWho ?

While others felt it went too far…

Some risqué dialogue choices got a laugh…
"No sh-!" Bill Potts, Doctor Who
Absolutely loved this line!!! ? ? @bbcdoctorwho #doctorwho #BillPotts #12thdoctor #tardis

And Dollard’s highly-quotable script got highly-quoted.
"Human progress isn't measure by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life." #DoctorWho

Of course, it's not really wrestling unless it's in zero gravity, with tentacles and magic spells.#DoctorWho #DWS10 pic.twitter.com/mc08bMiDZ7

All told, this story seems to have chilled everyone out.
