Editor's Note: The below recap contains spoilers for Doctor Who Season 1, Episode 2, "The Devil's Chord."

Doctor Who TV-PGActionAdventure Sci-Fi The show follows the adventures of a Time Lord “The Doctor” who is able to regenerate, and the Doctor’s human friends. The Doctor and companion’s journey through time and space in the TARDIS – a time-traveling ship shaped like a police box – saving the universe with a combination of wit, bravery, and kindness.

Unfortunately for Ruby and the Doctor, upon sneaking into the recording booth, they watch the Beatles record one of the worst songs ever put to music. Gatwa and Gibson really lean into the humor of the moment as the slow dawning horror of what they're witnessing plays out across their faces. Double-checking that it's not just the Beatles, they also pop in to hear an absolute flop from Cilla Black and a frankly dreadful orchestral version of "Three Blind Mice.

Laughing in an all-too-familiar arpeggio, Maestro climbs out of the piano again, and that's all the Doctor needs to realize that Maestro and the Toymaker are cut from the same cloth. Eagle-eyed viewers might remember that "The Giggle" also opened with unusual happenings in the year 1925. Visibly terrified, the Doctor and Ruby book it to the basement and attempt to hide from Maestro and their tuning fork by using the sonic to mute the world around them.

Back in 1963, the Doctor attempts to mathematically calculate the perfect tune to send Maestro packing, but the trickster is still one step ahead of the Time Lord. Wrapping Ruby in their twisted sheet music, Maestro is determined to crush the Doctor once and for all by tearing the music right out of his bubbly companion.
