All love songs are removed, and happy songs where The Doctor Who and Ruby where he goes to the roof top and sees the smog over london, while a piano was brought up to the roof top of london where ruby is asked to play a song on a piano the only person in the world who can play music.

The Maestro is able to mess with the tardis through the music, and explains that every song that is not played makes her stronger, they return back to 1963 where Maestro is met in abbey road studio where Ruby is captured by mistro and a song is played that is from her past.
Maestro is then challenged to a battle with the doctor where The Doctor is playing a piano and Maestro is playing a guitar, which she looses the guitar as it breaks. The Doctor then finds all the notes except one to banish the Maestro.
One of The Beatles is then able to find the piano in the hallway with the chord still showing except one note, while The doctor is stuck in a drum and ruby is in a chello which saves the day with Maestro being banished and returned to the Piano while ending with “The One Who Waits is almost hear”.
The smog is then released and music is now being placed.
The doctor then breaks the forth wall and saying: There is always a twist at the end which breaks alot of people into song.
The ending seems very weird with everyone dancing and singing, the school boy is then brought back before The Doctor and Ruby dance on the zebrea crossing, I am not entirely sure if i found this in keeping with the current doctor who.
Overall the episode is really good and enjoyable and it felt like they were continuing the story arch of The Toy Maker. It was a good episode with alot of flash backs back to the past. I just was not happy with the ending in the musical exit. (This post contains episode spoilers click the show link to view the full review).
