The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos (TV story)

The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos was the tenth and final episode of series 11 of Doctor Who.

The episode acted as a bookend to the series by marking the return of Tzim-Sha, who previously appeared in the first episode, The Woman Who Fell to Earth. It also granted closure to Graham and Ryan's grief over Grace's death that occurred in the same episode and became a reccurring subject throughout the series.

Story notes

 * Unlike in TV: The Woman Who Fell to Earth, Tzim-Sha is listed in the credits with his real name, instead of the Doctor's nickname "Tim Shaw". Additionally, the credit uses the spelling established in PROSE: The Secret in Vault 13, rather than that used in WC: Case File One (T’zim-Sha).
 * To keep the return of Tzim-Sha a surprise, Samuel Oatley was not credited in Radio Times.
