Please no spoilers beyond this episode unless you see that later episodes have already been released. In that case, no spoilers beyond those episodes.
This reaction is in a watch-along format. This means you'll need your own copy of the episode to watch alongside my reaction. This is in an effort to avoid copyright infringement.
If you're based in the UK (or using a UK streaming site), here are instructions for how to get your copy to sync with mine.
The show footage will play for the first 30 seconds with both video and audio. After that, the show footage will be silenced, and the video will be blurred for the remainder of the episode. There is also a count-up timer that begins once the episode has started. These things will hopefully make it easier for you to keep your copy of the episode synced with mine.

Comments
Ah yes, the famous non-cliffhanger, featuring the perils of parquet flooring... Needless to say, that's not where Part Three was originally intended to end. The scripted cliffhanger came at an earlier point, where the Daleks seem just about to catch up with the Doctor and Bellal. But in production the episode was found to be underrunning so severely that a couple of minutes of material had to be pulled forward from Part Four (which was running long, anyway), in order to get it to the right length. For some reason, Seasons 10 and 11 had several cases of mistimed episodes causing messed-up cliffhangers. From last season, Episode 4 of "Frontier in Space" was another one that ran short and had to be extended with material from the following episode, resulting in it petering out with a slow pan revealing (from behind!) an Ogron silently watching a monitor screen -- not the most thrilling ending... :-)
