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

Previous Story: Dalek Soul

Tegan is back, hooray! 5 and Nyssa, as much as I enjoy them, can get really dull when alone so it's great to have someone who brings a lot of energy to the TARDIS return. Tegan isn't the only returning character of this story, Omega is also back. Omega is an interesting villain because he has so much potential and yet he feels like he's been underutilised in both of his stories. The Three Doctors just slightly beats this story in terms of how well Omega is used but both aren't particularly great.

The last part was a slog to get through. While I appreciate the location footage, that chase sequence was so ridiculously unnecessary. It really feels like they just wanted to show off as much of Amsterdam as possible. In general though, I'm beginning to see the faults of the 80s and the general writing quality does feel like it's taken a decline, even if I sitll enjoy the stories. That's mainly due to the cast though.

Still, this wasn't a bad story especially since it had Colin Baker in it. He really stole every scene he was in, he's the perfect choice for the 6th Doctor.
