(http://www.chakoteya.net/DoctorWho/34-5.html)</a> and other sources:

**Strengths:**

* **Fast-paced and entertaining:** The episode is action-packed and moves 
along at a brisk pace, keeping the viewer engaged. 
* **High concept:** The concept of a heist across time is interesting 
and unique for Doctor Who. 
* **Clara's role:** Clara is a strong and resourceful companion in this 
episode, showcasing her intelligence and bravery.
* **Guest cast:** The guest cast delivers good performances, particularly  
Jenna Coleman (Clara) and Keeley Hawes (The Teller).

**Weaknesses:**

* **Simple plot:** The plot itself is fairly straightforward and doesn't 
offer much complexity. The mystery is solved relatively easily. 
* **Uneven pacing:**  Some viewers find the pacing uneven, with a slow first 
half that sets up the mystery and a faster-paced second half with the heist 
itself. 

* **Underdeveloped characters:** While the guest cast delivers good 
performances,  the supporting characters beyond Clara 
are not very fleshed out.

* **"Monster of the Week" feel:** While the time heist concept elevates it, 
the core story still has a "monster of the week" format. 

**Overall Impression:**

* **Mixed Reviews:** Reviews for "Time Heist" are mixed. Some viewers find it 
to be a fun and entertaining romp, while others find it lacking in depth.

* **"Filler" Episode:**  Many consider it a "filler" episode, enjoyable 
but not essential to the overall story arc.

**Rating:**

Considering the mixed reviews, the fun heist concept, and some underdeveloped 
aspects, I'd rate Doctor Who - Time Heist a **7/10**. It's a decent episode 
with some good moments, but it doesn't quite reach the heights 
of other Doctor Who stories.

Here's a breakdown for those who prefer a clear answer:

**For fans who enjoy fast-paced action and a fun concept:**  8/10 or even 9/10
**For fans who prefer complex plots 
and deep character development:** 5/10 or 6/10
