Review of A Sting in the Tale by thedefinitearticle63

4 June 2024

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

Previous Story: The Circus of Doom

Finally, we reach the end of the Doctor's string of tales. The explanation for how the hornets came to inhabit stuffed animals in the present is finally concluded by the Doctor, and we are now caught up to speed with events. It's also explained how the hornets came to possess Antonio.

In an interesting twist, it turns out the Doctor has caused most of his own problems. The scenes where the Doctor himself is possessed by the hornets is horrifying, you can feel the peril he is in as he describes losing control.

Next Story: Hive of Horror
