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

Previous Story: Crime of the Century

This was definitely the most enjoyable one so far... even if it was arguably the worst story. Firstly, it's the return of Brigadier Bambera, that alone makes it 1000x funner to listen to the than the last two. The start is also really good fun with both Ace and Raine going undercover at a university. It's really simple but it makes for an extremely engaging plot.

The main villain is an animal rights activist. Yikes. Up until that point it was really quite good but then you have an absolute caricature who's trying to summon aliens to kill all the meat-eaters at his university. McCoy's era so far has arguably been the most progressive of all of Classic and arguably a good deal of the new show aswell so for one of the planned stories to be this... wtf?

I thought the Numlocks were quite good, quite funny. That's not enough to excuse the rest of the story though. Baffling stuff.
