The Doctor is apparently forced into robbing a bank by the mysterious architect. He must lead a team including Clara, Psi and Saibra to follow the architect's instructions to rob the Bank of Karabraxos. The bank's security is tight which includes an alien called the Teller, which feeds on the thoughts of a person's mind until their mind becomes soup. The Teller senses guilt so the Doctor and the team must not show guilt.
This episode involves a lot of more traditional Sci-fi elements; aliens, advanced technology and time travel. Spoiler alert, do not continue to read if you have not watched this episode. Towards the end of the episode it is revealed that the Doctor was the architect and that the robbery was a well planned heist in order to save the last two Tellers in existence. The reason for the memory wipe was to prevent the Teller from sensing any guilt.
In this episode the Doctor take the lead and Clara is not quite the centre of attention as in previous episodes. Both David Tennant and Matt Smith did a fantastic job at being the Doctor, and I hope that Peter Capaldi gets the opportunity to bring something new to the character of the Doctor.
