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

Previous Story: The Harvest

After the slog that was The Sandman, I didn't think Simon A. Forward's scripts could get any worse. And then I listened to Dreamtime. Not only is it just boring, nonsensical and surreal (in the bad way) as The Sandman, it's also got some incredibly dodgy messaging. It has a moment where the characters just basically stop to say that all this was caused by multiculturalism and diversity messing up old traditions which is such a baffling direction for Doctor Who to take. It really just takes you out of it because it's not even subtle. I wish I could say it ruined a good story but there wasn't all that much to ruin.
