A very fun romp that takes advantage of the Eighth Doctor as a Bryonian romance figure (albeit one more interested in the sights than talking feelings, much to the chagrin of his apparent boyfriend) and the trippy nature of the Monks (particularly use of simulations and forced consent). I thought the Monks were well utilised and the set pieces were nicely judged. The slightly sour note of the Doctor's simulation dying without telling his real self (the contrivances of keeping story elements secret for the TV show rarely fail to annoy me) of the Monks was helped by the discovery if real Mark for a sweet ending- but one that also unpicks the (somewhat trite) emotional pathos for lead Chris. Hard to be disappointed by a story with plenty of gay (though there could be even more if you ask me).
