Review of Gardens of the Dead by 15thDoctor

This review contains spoilers!

A gentle story with some nice character moments for Tegan, Nyssa, Turlough, and the Doctor. The setting and the enemy were pleasantly entertaining, though I never quite understood the significance of the similar garden within the TARDIS—it either wasn’t fully explained, or I missed the point.

While my main criticism is that the story feels too slight, I do appreciate how it ties into established events from the TV series and offers a bit of insight into Turlough’s inner thoughts. That said, it feels like the concept wasn’t fully realised, even within the limited runtime. There’s potential here, but it could have been developed further.
