In the episodes, the Thirteenth Doctor (Jodie Whittaker) and her companions Graham O'Brien (Bradley Walsh), Ryan Sinclair (Tosin Cole), and Yasmin Khan (Mandip Gill) are enlisted by MI6 to investigate a former agent and an alien threat. The episodes mark the return of the Master since "The Doctor Falls" (2017), and also see the return of Gallifrey, the Doctor's home planet.
The two episodes were watched by 6.89 and 6.07 million viewers respectively, and received generally positive reviews from critics. Part One is dedicated to former Doctor Who writer and script editor Terrance Dicks, who had died in 2019.
