The range Destiny of The Doctor is very much a longer Companion Chronicle story. The episode starts amazingly, the atmosphere is on point one night the Doctor gets followed home. Mr Rook one of the teachers of Coal Hill School, Susan recognising him as he walks away. Cut to the next day at school I feel the story perfectly describes the way Susan acts at school to how I envisioned in the books. She bumps into Mr Rook at school, taking extreme interest in her setting up this big over looming character watching her though out the next scene. A school boy Cedric walks up to Susan and invites her to Rosa's with a group of friends, one being Mavis. I love the dynamic of Susan and her for just these two scenes. Rosa the owner of the cafe comes over and talks bout what its like being an alien, alien meaning not from England in this context. Mavis changes the music to something more modern, the music turning to static. Mavis jumps up and attacks Susan in an out of character way saying, "get back to where you came from" Rosa turns the music off and Mavis returns to normal she is taken away by some of Cedric's friends. Later the Doctor walks into Rosa's as the radio plays a message from the Doctor from the future saying, "its all in the beat" after the message, Cedric asks to walk Susan home the Doctor forbidding it. I love how protective of Susan the Doctor is in this audio.

After the Doctor goes to a shop called Magpie Electronics ran by a man called Bernie to get some parts for the Tardis. He leaves but Mr Rook was in the back and heard everything now knowing the Doctor is defiantly in Totters Lane. On the way back the Doctor is confronted by some youths, while Susan enters the junk yard. The junk yard was ransacked with words on the wall saying aliens out. The Doctor soon enters the junk yard after the confrontation saying they suddenly stopped, apologised and said they could give him a lift home.

the next day Susan and Cedric meet up heading to the train, but there soon cornered by people looking for Susan the matter made worse when Susan gets a headache and this mind control thing seems to have effected Cedric too. as the music stops though the mind control stops, Cedric had no idea what happened. Later Cedric and Susan listen to a record talking about his uncle in the army while the doctor picks up his pieces from magpie electronics. Its a trap however planned by Mr Rook, trapping him in the shop warehouse thinking the Doctor is an alien. I love how much of a presents Mr Rook has, as he's trying to enlist the Doctor to help in the cold war. Mr Rook going off nothing but superstition but when he threatens Susan the Doctor becomes more on edge. Meanwhile Susan and Cedric are chased again, a huge hunt. While running noticing Rosa's being attacked too. They run into magpie warehouse and revelation, Mr Rook is Cedric's uncle. Cedric is revealed to be a spy for him, This further creates distrust around people for the 1st doctor. Soon they work out the mob don't mean Aliens as in the Doctor and Susan but aliens as in people not from the uk. They also remember the message of its all in the beat realising something is in the sound waves is manipulating people minds. So the Doctor builds a old fashioned radio reviser to find the signal, turns out the sound was using the Beatles to control everyone, with help of Susan and her transistor radio the doctor works out a plan. The mob push into the warehouse advancing in, Susan manages too hold them back but not for long. The Doctors plan works though saving the day. I love how edge of your seat these final parts are very zombie film esc, I also love how Susan stands her ground and doesn't forgive Cedric as he doesn't deserve it Susan again is left alone an unearthly child of coal hill school. The Doctor also convinces Mr Rook to forget about them both and leave the area as they do.

I loved this story honestly one of my favourites of the S0b era so far might be because it feels like that small gap in between this and the TV series is starting to fill. Overall pretty good story,
