Broken Hearts: 9.3/10 - Yet another really emotional and powerful story. I really felt for Valerie in this story and really enjoyed how her and the Doctor mended the relationship at the end. The setting, being a planet where the weather is determined by the emotions of its denizens, was the perfect idea for this story and channels Valerie's feelings into the plot of the story. The B plot, following Augustus and Lionel the robots, was really touching and I liked the twist of Augustus being the one in the tornado, even though the story makes that twist clear as you listen. In the end, I really enjoyed how the Doctor and Valerie’s relationship was handled and showcased a new dimension to the Doctor/companion relationship that we haven’t seen before.
