This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order.

Previous Story: Dead to the World

In terms of actual plot here I wouldn't say there was all that much. It was fun though. Vaguely Season 23/24-esque but not nearly as good. I think where this story really excels is the character work. Ace doesn't get all that much to do but it's made up for by having such a good exploration of the Doctor and Mel's relationship that it's easy to forget how little they actually had on TV. It's absolutely brilliant and a promising start on the whole to this run, although I've heard mixed things about it.

Decent story with exceptional characterisation.
