This is by far the barmiest Doctor Who Magazine comic strip I have read. Some of it may be because as with the TV story Love & Monsters, it features monsters designed by kids as part of a children’s competition. This one is more successful than Love & Monsters, as the quirkier nature of the designs fits the comic medium better.

It concerns a hypnotising cat taking the Doctor to a dance floor where sentient interdimensional banana creatures have beaten Earth world leaders in the medium of dance. Their leader Beattie challenges the Doctor to a dance off: if he wins, they leave. If they win, they take over the Earth.

I’m not sure entirely how I feel about it. It’s certainly entertaining, and it fits the Fifteenth Doctor era like a glove. However, sometimes the silliness is a bit overpowering and removes any sense of jeopardy from the story.
