This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order.

Previous Story: The Feast of Axos

Aaand just after it was getting good, we're back to the snoozefest. Not particularly surprised that Brewster went out on a low note. Still, I'm glad to know I won't have to hear him ever again. No hate to John Pickard's performance, I actually think it's quite good, it's just that he's quite possibly the most insufferably written companion ever to travel with the Doctor (though I'm sure I'll be proven wrong on that eventually).

There's not much to say about the story itself, it's as generic as a story could ever get. I liked some of the ideas here, particularly the monsters that use humans as spare parts to build themselves. I don't think the true body-horror aspect of that was realised as well as it could have been though. If I'm being honest, I zoned out for most of this story and I don't intend to relisten to it to find out what I missed (most likely nothing).
