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

Previous Story: The Grey Man of the Mountain

Really boring story which is a shame considering it has Geoffrey Beevers' Master in it. It's not all that surprising though considering it was written by Mike Tucker who did The Genocide Machine, another frightfullly dull and formulaic adventure. The only thing keeping this one anywhere above that one is the aforementioned Geoffrey Beevers. And the lack of Daleks, that helps too.

Speaking of Beevers, it doesn't really feel like he's settled back into the role yet. He's still good but with the hindsight of his later performances this one does stand out a bit (alteast in my eyes). Although in fairness he only did it one time what would have been twenty-something years ago by this point.

Nothing remarkable here sadly, but it could have been a lot worse.
