Face the Raven was the tenth episode of the ninth series of Doctor Who produced by BBC Wales. The episode saw Rigsy and Ashildr return as well as Ashildr's first time interacting with Clara since The Girl Who Died.
The episode marked the last regular appearance of Jenna Coleman as Clara Oswald, as the character unexpectedly died during the episode's climax, and unlike Asylum of the Daleks and The Snowmen, this death would remain permanent.
Synopsis
The Doctor, Clara and Rigsy are trapped on an alien street in London, that is hidden from the rest of the world.
Ashildr, the immortal hybrid-girl, is taking care of some of the most dangerous creatures in the universe. Not everyone will get out alive, one of them must pay the price and face the raven.

Story notes
- This is the first story to feature the Twelfth Doctor in a burgundy version of his signature navy blue Crombie coat, similar to the coat he was first seen wearing during TV: The Day of the Doctor.
- In the credits, the word "Oods" is used to denote more than one Ood, rather than the established "Ood", as used in TV: The Impossible Planet.
- In one scene, there is a poster with a diagram of a flux capacitor, a direct reference to Back to the Future. It is accompanied by writings in Aurebesh, the main alphabet used in the Star Wars franchise. This writing spells out "Delorean", the car used in the Back to the Future franchise.

Continuity
- The Doctor and Clara reunite with Rigsy, (TV: Flatline) and Me. (TV: The Girl Who Died / The Woman Who Lived)
- The Doctor and Clara find that Rigsy's memory of the last 24 hours have been wiped or "retconned". The retcon drug was frequently used by Torchwood Three. (TV: Everything Changes et al)
- Me considers the trap street to be a more favorable way of housing aliens on Earth as opposed to the settling of the Zygons. (TV: The Zygon Invasion / The Zygon Inversion)
- The Doctor's confession dial reappears. (TV: The Magician's Apprentice / The Witch's Familiar)
- Clara compares her coming sacrifice to that of Danny Pink. (TV: Death in Heaven)
- The TARDIS telephone rings. (TV: Aliens of London et.al.)
- Clara tells the Doctor to "heal himself". This is reminiscent as the Eighth Doctor's final words: "Physician, heal thyself". (TV: The Night of the Doctor)
- Clara asks the Doctor to be "a Doctor" and not "a warrior". She said something similar to the Eleventh Doctor when convincing him not to detonate the Moment. (TV: The Day of the Doctor)
- Clara hangs outside of the TARDIS in order to find the mysterious cause of Rigsy's tattoo. She hangs outside of it in a way similar to how the Eleventh Doctor once did. (TV: The Day of the Doctor)
- Clara says she loves Jane Austen. Clara previously taught classes about her and stated Jane was a great kisser. (TV: The Caretaker, The Magician's Apprentice)
- Clara tells the Doctor that his "reign of terror" will end at the sight of his "first crying child". (TV: The Girl Who Died)
- The Doctor previously has had to deal with dangerous countdowns. (TV: 42, Flesh and Stone)
- Several alien species previously encountered by the Doctor are seen:
- Judoon (TV: Smith and Jones et.al)
- Sontarans (TV: The Time Warrior et al)
- Cybermen (TV: The Tenth Planet et al)
- Ood (TV: The Impossible Planet et al)
- Silurians (TV: Doctor Who and the Silurians et al)
- Ice Warriors (TV: The Ice Warriors et al)
- Rigsy paints a mural on the TARDIS. This isn't the first time it has been graffitied (TV: Aliens of London) nor the first time someone has gone and painted it in his absence. (TV: The Happiness Patrol)
