OLD FRIENDS AND OLD ENEMIES
The Valeyard.

NEW FRIENDS AND NEW ENEMIES
Peter Ackroyd, Joseph Lierbermann, Jack the Ripper.

CONTINUITY COCK-UPS

1. It's revealed in A Good Man Goes to War that Madame Vastra killed Jack the Ripper, which doesn't square with events here.
2. In Mission: Impractical, the Valeyard was trying to kill the Doctor, whereas here he's back to stealing his lives again.

PLUGGING THE HOLES [Fan-wank theorizing of how to fix continuity cock-ups]

1. Vastra ate the wrong guy.
2. The Valeyard is somewhat inconsistent in his aims.

IN SUMMARY - Tim Snelling
It doesn't take long for Doctor and Ace to become separated. For those not paying attention, this might be mistaken for a 'Doctor-lite' story; as a belated sequel to the Valeyard's machinations in The Trial of a Time Lord, one can probably see where showrunner Chris Chibnall got a few of his ideas from. It works well enough, even if the Totters Lane scenes do seem a bit discombobulated.
