    • Trivia
      The full quote from "The Shepherd Boy" in the book "Household Tales" by the Brothers Grimm is:

      The King said, "The third question is, how many seconds of time are there in eternity." Then said the shepherd boy, "In Lower Pomerania is the Diamond Mountain, which is two miles and a half high, two miles and a half wide, and two miles and a half in depth; every hundred years a little bird comes and sharpens its beak on it, and when the whole mountain is worn away by this, then the first second of eternity will be over."
    • Goofs
      At the top of the tower where the Doctor places his skull, as he confesses to The Veil there is a close shot of the Doctor with stars behind him and The Veil's hand hovering to one side of his face, you can clearly see the stars in the dark parts of The Veil's hand, showing that they were superimposed over the scene later.
    • Quotes

      [first lines]

      The Doctor: [voice over] As you come into this world, something else is also born. You begin your life, and it begins a journey towards you. It moves slowly, but it never stops. Wherever you go, whatever path you take, it will follow - never faster, never slower, always coming. You will run; it will walk. You will rest; it will not. One day, you will linger in the same place too long; you will sit too still or sleep too deep. And when, too late, you rise to go, you will notice a second shadow next to yours. Your life will then be over.

    10/10
    Near perfect episode of television.
    Peter Capaldi talking to himself for 45 minutes somehow manages to be gripping, heartbreaking, entertaining, beautiful, and tense all at the same time. It's a testament to the strong script and his acting ability.
