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

Previous Story: Requiem for the Rocket Men

Here we go, this is the exploration of character that was missing from the last story, I do wish it was something slightly more interesting than a love story, but it wasn't too generic and I think Marshall is a good match, it doesn't feel as forced and silly as other companion departures where the companion immediately gets married to first person she sees.

Of course, Leela does not end up departing in this story but it does set up a precedent, overall I think this part is a lot better than the last. Geoffrey Beevers continues to excel as the Master and the setting is quite interesting however this story is mainly driven by the romance plot which unfortunately could have been better.
