I wish I could say I enjoyed Ghost Light more, or that I could rate it higher than its current average, rather than pushing it lower. Unfortunately, this is a limited storyline for Who. On the one hand, it has exceptional production in its sets and design. They do a lot with clearly a limited budget. There's some great ideas in here but it is definitely cram packed full of plot, clearly truncated on some level and all the worse for it. The weird ghost wanting to catalogue everything and being obsessed with evolution was interesting, but I'm not sure how well it squared with the excellent character work around Ace.
There's some great moments here kind of unforgettable to Who, but it is held back in little ways and odd little beats of acting here and there.
