We have commercials like every 5-8 minutes in a show, sometimes even less than that. |

We do, just not on BBC.
Well technically, the BBC does have advertisements – for itself. But they’re never aired when a programme is broadcast, just before and after it (if that makes sense). So, for example, an advert for, say, Holby City will air just before or after Doctor Who but not in the middle of Doctor Who itself. That’s a lot of advertising.

Basically for every 30 minutes, 9-10 minutes of it are commercials. THat's why our shows usually run 19-21 minutes long at the most. If it is an hour long show, it's 42 minutes unless it is something special that runs longer like Better Call Saul, which usually runs for 65-70 minutes so the episodes can span 48 minutes.
Unless it's a Premium channel like HBO and Starz where you have to pay $20+ on your cable bill to acquire. Is that what BBC is like in the UK? |

It’s funded by the television licence.

As I understand it (and I very well may not, being an American who's never been to the UK), the BBC is run by the government and funded by the viewers. It's kind of like how PBS works here, except paying is mandatory instead of on a volunteer basis.

As an Englishman, I can confirm the above, with the addendum that in addition to being maintained by the government, it's also established by a Royal Charter.

Did anyone else not enjoy the Monks storyline? It started with that troll of the world's not real, then the whole fake world they created just so they could write the Doctor getting his sight back. It doesn't take much away from the season as a whole for me. I think they rushed the reveal on the contents of the Vault though. I would've liked a slow build through the season before revealing Missy, but what can you do. I love Billie, I love Nardo, I love them running off together without the Doctor. As much as I adore Capaldi's Doctor. But these last two episodes.. The perfect memory of Billie's mother saved the world? I think it's because I prefer DW stories where the villain is a little less meta. The two Smith episodes with Living Plastic the threat seemed real throughout. The Monks.. It all seemed, I don't know, manufactured? Am I making any sense? I hope so. I'm not saying they were bad episodes. I didn't hate them.. I just didn't like them.

I thought the first episode of this arc was really good with a nice twist at the end, but I found each subsequent episode to be more and more of a letdown. The monks didn't feel like a big enough threat to devote a quarter of the season to and the last episode felt really derivative of the Master storyline from season three. I mean, it wasn't objectively bad or anything, but this was definitely not the show firing on all cylinders.
