I always remember this one as a bit of a clunker, but in this relisten I noticed that this play actually has a lot going for it. The worldbuilding is pretty great, Sophie is pretty great and the many time periods on offer keep the play fresh. I will say that the voice of the main villain was a bit of a mistake, got massive gollum vibes from that one.

But really, this one is a far better opener than Blood of the Daleks.
