It felt like a near-constant stream of winks-to-the-audience (sometimes literally) which made it very difficult to not be knocked out of the fiction and try to take any of the events seriously. This is the first time in a very long while, perhaps ever, that I've watched Doctor Who and thought...

The Inquisitors, as an organisation of powerful Force users, were always a potential threat to the Emperor. They would only be left in place until they had outlived their usefulness - which would be when the remaining potential Force-users in the galaxy had been whittled down to a level that...
