The Hand of Fear is probably one of my favourite episodes - I love Sarah Jane dearly, and Eldrad is a brilliant villain. I was a little dubious going into this one as I wasn't sure how it was going to play out, but I am delighted to say I enjoyed it very much.

The story itself took quite a bit of concentrating on as it is very dense and twists and turns between the past and future, and between reality and in the mind. It is always interesting for Turlough to get a story, and to dip into his past was a lot of fun.

I think perhaps this episode does suffer from being a little overcomplicated, but the upside to that is that no character felt like they were just there for the sake of it. I've probably said it before, but the issue with a lot of stories with this team is that two of them take the fore, and the other two tend to be a little sidelined. But this episode was very solid, and that was good.
